  12. Australian regulatory requirements There are two major regulatory frameworks in Australia: • Those for coal mining; and • Those for other industries

  13. Australian regulatory requirements Regulatory approach • Coal mining – through specific state legislation • Other industries – through state legislation calling out up the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000) which in turn references relevant Ex standards IECEx certificates can be used direct to market in Australia

  14. Missing links NON-ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT • Current standards • Few international standards • Issues with CEN standards • Some requirements in Australia for coal mining - not much for other areas

  15. Missing links NON-ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT • The future • Recent formation within TC 31 of SC 31M Non-Electrical Equipment and Protective Systems for Explosive Atmospheres
