Provided in this document are specific requirements for field installed sealing between a pressurized system (stream) containing flammable or combustible process fluids which is connected directly or indirectly to an electrical system where a failure could allow the migration of process fluids directly into the electrical system. Not addressed in this document are the basic requirements for electrical safety and the effects of the loss of containment of the process system in terms of risk to the environment and/or personnel health and safety.

P1673
Standard for Requirements for Conduit and Cable Seals for Field Connected Wiring to Equipment in Petroleum and Chemical Industry Exposed to Pressures above Atmospheric (1.5 kPa, 0.22 psi)
This document provides specific requirements for field installed sealing between a pressurized system (stream) containing flammable or combustible process fluids which is connected directly or indirectly to an electrical system where a failure could allow the migration of process fluids directly into the electrical system. The basic requirements for electrical safety are not specifically addressed by this standard. The effects of the loss of containment of the process system in terms of risk to the environment and/or personnel health and safety are also not addressed by this document. While certain types of equipment incorporate a primary seal in their design, a redundant sealing method or secondary seal as defined in NFPA 70(R) NEC(R) (501.17, 505.26) and CSA(R) C22.1 (18-072) is required for equipment where such a seal is not incorporated into its design. This standard provides requirements for such a seal which is added to the equipment during installation.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
