UL C1D2 & DNVTypical Oil, Gas & Mining applications that require UL Class I Division II certification:UL C1D2 & DNVNowadays Industrial Ethernet switches and Industrial Ethernet based devices aremore suitable for their environments and applications; they are designed to meetthe riggers of the task at hand which in some cases includes a harsh environmentlike Oil, Gas and Mining industry.Some of the facilities that would utilize equipment that would fall into thisapplication environment would be Oil Refineries, Oil Platforms andPetro-Chemical Plants these types of facilities would have a need to installIndustrial Ethernet based switches and devices for process control andmonitoring. These types of facilities require devices that are certified to meet theharsh environments they produce.For example, in the Petro-Chemical industry, controlling and monitoring siteconditions and dynamic changes in those conditions are mission critical. Thedevices and more importantly the network which is made up of Ethernetswitches, Media Convertors, Routers, Gateways and Fiber Optic cables arecombined to allow these devices to communicate these changes; the combined devices and componentsmust be of a mission critical nature as well and it must be able to withstand the rigorous challenges of itssurroundings. Thus the need and the absolute promise of the “UL Class I Division II” certification of thenetwork equipment or the Industrial Ethernet based switches and devices. At this level of severity, the riskfor loss of life and property is at its highest and this certified equipment provides reliable, secure and rapiddata transmission, so that the administrators controlling and monitoring the plant’s activities can detect anyabnormal situations quickly enough for them to take the necessary actions to prevent an accident or adisaster.In order to overcome these hazardous environments, the relative device should pass a variety of testing andcertification. These devices face some pretty tough conditions. While striving to maintain high safetystandards and efficient operating costs, companies demand rugged protection for the critical equipmentthat controls power generation and distribution. These test and certifications including the extremetemperature, IP rating and three kinds of stability test (free-fall, vibration, shock), with a certain degree ofresistance to shock, vibration-resistant properties that ensure the normal functionality under harshenvironments. With “UL Class I Division II” approval, Ethernet switch and devices can be deployed inhazardous or explosive condition without increasing the risk of explosion or acceleratingthe damage if an accident occurs.UL Class I Division II & DNVSeveral harsh environment certifications have been established by third party testingagencies, one such certification is “UL Class I Division II” this is one of the most widely usedby the most trusted names of the testing agencies. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is oneof the testing agencies that certifies these types of systems as safe for use in the highestlevel of hazardous locations; these types of locations would include but not be limited topotentially explosive location or location where all electronic circuits and / or devices mustbe intrinsically safe. An Intrinsically Safe Circuit is "A circuit in which any spark or thermal effect is incapableof causing ignition of a mixture of flammable or combustible material in air under prescribed testconditions." (See UL 913)P19DNV Certification for Maritime Oil & GasAnother such testing agency similar to UL is DNV (Det Norske Veritas), DNV is a classification societyorganized as a foundation, with the objective of "Safeguarding life, property, and the maritimeenvironment". DNV’s approval process entails verification of a set of requirements and processes; theserequirements and processes encompass the design, construction, and operation of devices used on-boardships and offshore units. DNV has four levels-A, B, C, and D of classification of their tests. These would rangefrom the most basic to the most critical and separate tests are conducted for other types of conditions(temperature, humidity, vibration, etc.). The use of Ethernet based devices combined with a fiber optic backbone make it much easier for the control center to coordinate and control data from many different systemsover a common communication platform. Any such network in use aboard a offshore platform or maritimevessel, would be subject to have passed the DNV’s strict testing procedures and processes; this wouldinclude all the Ethernet based devices proving the worthiness in the Maritime Oil & Gas Industry. Being oneof the world's leading classification societies, DNV’s certification are recognized globally as an indication thata product is fit for use in the well-defined classes of marine environments and applications.
Typical DNV Applications:Ethernet devices can be used to solve communications problems for a number of marine applications. Theutilization of Ethernet network aboard maritime vessels will benefit all types of vessels from battleships andocean liners; which when fully manned could be home to several thousand soldiers or passengers. Energyrelated applications, such as offshore drilling platforms, tide-power generation systems, and offshorewindmill farms, could also benefit from using Ethernet.For example, offshore platforms are common DNV application. Generally, it is necessary to set up asophisticated automated monitoring system to ensure that all systems work properly. The deployment ofan IP network for the monitoring and control system makes it easier to establish a platform-wide systemthat connects all the monitoring and controls systems onto one common network platform. All thecommunication and monitoring devices used on an offshore platform including the Industrial Ethernetbased switches and devices must be capable of withstanding critical ocean environments, including theeffects of moisture, vibration, shock, and temperature extremes.Product Design for UL Class I Division II &DNVEthernet switches and devices that pass “UL Class I Division II” testing or the requirements’ of the DNVneed to be able to withstand inclement weather, environmental and equipment generated temperatures,shock and vibrations, dust and dust particulates. Here are some of the details with regards to theabove mentioned requirements for certification; all these devices must be designed to demonstrate to thetesting agencies that they meet or exceed these requirements while maintaining an optimal operatingstandard: These requirements include but are not limited to intrinsically safe operations, extreme storagetemperatures, Wide operating temperature ranging from -40°C to 75°C, Vibration and shock tests (free fall,mounting surface vibrations, etc.), IP-54 or IP-67 grade for absolute-protection for dust-proof and water-resistant enclosures.SummaryAs mentioned in the previous section, UL “Class I Division II” safety certification makes that switch or devicewith this certification your best choice for intrinsically safe operating areas or environments.DNV certification will ensure that the switches and devices have met the requirements’ of design,constructions and rigorous testing to be certified for maritime use in all maritime vessels or offshoreplatforms.UL C1D2 & DNVUL C1D2 Product List:IES-0005T IES-0008T IEC-0101FTIGS-2206C IGS-2404-E IES-2208FIGS-0008T IGC-0101GB IPES-0008-4 IES-2307CIES-2216CDNV Product List:IES-0005T-DNVIES-0008T-DNVIES-0104FT-DNV*IES-2208F-DNV*IES-2008A-DNV*IES-2216C-DNVIES-0204FT-DNV*IEC-0101FT-DNVIES-1204FT-DNV*IGS-2404-E-DNV*LGS-2816C-RPS-DNV*LGS-2624C-DNV**DNV Type Approval is pendingP20
