Intrinsic Safety Please contact safaservices@vdw.co.za with any suggestions or comments of matters concerning intrinsic safety. The group will meet every two months, and has set its objectives as follows: To communicate on a regular basis. To gain and exchange knowledge and experience between end users, suppliers, vendors, test houses, and legal authorities. To share and implement best practices. To ensure practical IS installations and standardize on IS loops. To identify and discuss typical problems and concerns in the industry and solve them. To get feedback from the test houses and trends in the international arena. To fill the gap in the knowledge of role players. To provide information on local IA certification & the implications. To work towards full compliance with IECEx. Exic Clarification From IS Sub-Committee Meeting These questions were raised at the IS meeting on 18 August. Herewith follows the questions and answers: Q - Where does it say that Exic is for zone 2 only? A - The relationship is identified in 60079-14 section 5.3 and 5.4 - (please click here for 60079-14 section 5.3 and 5.4) Q - Where does it say that it does not require a barrier/isolator? A - This statement isn't true, you will need an IS interface - barrier, isolator or I/O card or a device with suitable IS safety parameters declared. Q - Where does it say that you can run Exic wiring with Exia & Exib wiring? A - It appears in both 60079-14 and Draft 60079-25 - (Please click here for the latter) Q - What is necessary for loop drawing approvals? i.e. how do you do calcs? A - It will follow the same process that we have now. However, as per Chris T note cable parameters are not likely to cause a problem for most installations.

SAFA provides members and providers of activities for ongoing professional development an understanding and proffer background information into the processes that have been developed to facilitate compliance with the statutory requirements for the renewal of professional registration. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) CPD SAFA has been recognized as a Voluntary Association (Catergory C) in terms of Section 25(1)(3) of the Engineering Professions Act (46 of 2000). In terms of this registration, ECSA registered professionals may earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points when participating in registered SAFA activities. Further to this SAFA provides members and providers of activities for ongoing professional development an understanding and proffer background information into the processes that have been developed to facilitate compliance with the statutory requirements for the renewal of professional registration.Some background to the process that were adopted to introduce CPD in accordance with the broad framework set out by the Engineering Profession Act 46 of 2000 and the policy of the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) is contained in A SAFA manual. The essential elements of CPD as compiled by the Professional Development Working Group (PDWG) of SAFA are also outlined. ECSA After a lengthy process of consultation and deliberation with Voluntary Associations and other Stakeholders in the Engineering Industry, a formal system of recording Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for engineering practitioners is now a reality as from 1 January 2006. CPD will be used as the mechanism through which all registered practitioners would have to renew their Registration with ECSA. In this regard section 22(1) of the Engineering Profession Act, 2000 (Act 46 of 2000) requires that a registered practitioner has to renew his or her Registration and has to "apply, in the prescribed manner, to the Council for the renewal of his or her Registration". Council decided that the most appropriate way for ECSA to give effect to the legislation would be to link renewal of Registration with Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The Policy on Continuing Professional Development was published for general comments and directly distributed among Voluntary Associations, for comment, and the Council on 24 November 2005 approved the Policy for purposes of implementation on 1 January 2006. The Policy has been converted into a set of Rules, which originally have been published as Board Notice 131 in Government Gazette No. 28328 on 23 December 2005. Interested and affected parties are urged to study the rules, which came into operation on 1 January 2006. In addition to the CPD Rules, provision has also been made in the Rules for "Renewal of Registration", which links CPD as a mechanism for implementing renewal of registration.

Intrinsic Safety Please contact safaservices@vdw.co.za with any suggestions or comments of matters concerning intrinsic safety. The group will meet every two months, and has set its objectives as follows: To communicate on a regular basis. To gain and exchange knowledge and experience between end users, suppliers, vendors, test houses, and legal authorities. To share and implement best practices. To ensure practical IS installations and standardize on IS loops. To identify and discuss typical problems and concerns in the industry and solve them. To get feedback from the test houses and trends in the international arena. To fill the gap in the knowledge of role players. To provide information on local IA certification & the implications. To work towards full compliance with IECEx. Exic Clarification From IS Sub-Committee Meeting These questions were raised at the IS meeting on 18 August. Herewith follows the questions and answers: Q - Where does it say that Exic is for zone 2 only? A - The relationship is identified in 60079-14 section 5.3 and 5.4 - (please click here for 60079-14 section 5.3 and 5.4) Q - Where does it say that it does not require a barrier/isolator? A - This statement isn't true, you will need an IS interface - barrier, isolator or I/O card or a device with suitable IS safety parameters declared. Q - Where does it say that you can run Exic wiring with Exia & Exib wiring? A - It appears in both 60079-14 and Draft 60079-25 - (Please click here for the latter) Q - What is necessary for loop drawing approvals? i.e. how do you do calcs? A - It will follow the same process that we have now. However, as per Chris T note cable parameters are not likely to cause a problem for most installations.
