ISA成立矿业安全工作组

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——在最近的一个会议上，ISA-SP12标准委员会，危险区域电气设备，建立了一个新的矿业工作组。

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.

该工作组将致力于为使用于地下矿潜在易燃区域的设备制定标准。委员会计划为地下采矿工业的地下采矿设备的设计和使用提供业界一致标准、操作规程建议以及技术报告。他们的工作还将涉及探测原料易燃范围的设备。

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.

该工作组还计划向矿业安全和健康行政部提供业界一致文件，根据联邦规章法典第30章，帮助发布规章制度，以及帮助其参与此类采矿设备国际标准的制定。

"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."

工作组主席Tom Dubaniewicz表示：“本工作组的工作将真正影响美国地下采矿业的所有领域。我们相信这项重要的工作将使采矿业更安全，而我们也很自豪成为其中的一部分。”

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

新成立的工作组将在2007年9月18号在麻省Cape Cod的委员会秋季会议期间举行会议。
