Scope
This document provides requirements, best practices and information to achieve sustained quality in the manufacture, performance testing, use, and maintenance of the operator enclosure air quality control system. Recommendations are made for operational integration of the air quality control system. Dilution of CO2 (which is generated by human respiration) within the operator enclosure is addressed in this document. Gases and vapours that may be a hazard in the work environment, outside of the operator enclosure are excluded.
Purpose
• TC-82 is being asked to address the concerns of industry in a standard that will clarify, in engineering terms, the air quality requirements for and performance of operator enclosures in the mining industry
• This effort will bridge the gap between customer expectation and engineering requirements.
• This standard will provide the requisite engineering controls and air quality performance tests required to meet industry expectations for initial design, ongoing maintenance, and validation of the air quality control system.
