ISA成立礦業安全工作組

June 6, 2007 - At a recent meeting, the ISA-SP12 standards committee, Electrical Equipment for Hazardous Locations, established a new mining working group.

6月6日消息——在最近的一個會議上，ISA-SP12標準委員會，危險區域電氣設備，建立了一個新的礦業工作組。

The working group will focus on developing standards for equipment used in potentially flammable locations within underground mines. The committee plans to provide the underground mining industry with industry consensus standards, recommended practices, and technical reports for the design and use of underground mining equipment. Their work will also cover equipment to detect materials within their combustible ranges.

該工作組將致力于為使用于地下礦潛在易燃區域的設備制定標準。委員會計劃為地下采礦工業的地下采礦設備的設計和使用提供業界一致標準、操作規程建議以及技術報告。他們的工作還將涉及探測原料易燃范圍的設備。

The group also aims to provide the Mine Safety and Health Administration with industry consensus documents to aid in promulgating regulations under Title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and to participate in the development of international standards for such mining equipment.

該工作組還計劃向礦業安全和健康行政部提供業界一致文件，根據聯邦規章法典第30章，幫助發布規章制度，以及幫助其參與此類采礦設備國際標準的制定。

"The work of this group will truly affect all of the US underground mining industry," said working group chairman Tom Dubaniewicz. "We believe this important work will make the mining industry safer, and we're proud to be a part of it."

工作組主席Tom Dubaniewicz表示：“本工作組的工作將真正影響美國地下采礦業的所有領域。我們相信這項重要的工作將使采礦業更安全，而我們也很自豪成為其中的一部分。”

The newly-formed working group will meet 18 September 2007 during the committee's fall meetings in Cape Cod, MA.

新成立的工作組將在2007年9月18號在麻省Cape Cod的委員會秋季會議期間舉行會議。
