used.  This shall  be  reported  to  the  owner  of  the  equipment  so  all  parties are 
advised. 
Initial safety checks shall include: 
(1)  That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid 
possibility of sparking. 
(2)  That  no  live  electrical  components  and  wiring  are  exposed  while  charging, 
recovering or purging the system. 
(3)  That there is continuity of earth bonding. 
5.4.2 Repairs to Sealed Components 
5.4.2.1 During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall 
be disconnected 
From  the  equipment  being  worked  upon  prior  to  any  removal  of  sealed 
covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment 
during servicing, then a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be 
located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation. 
5.4.2.2 Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that 
by working on 
Electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level 
of protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive number 
of  connections,  terminals  notmade  to  original  specification,  damage  to  seals, 
incorrect fitting of glands, etc. 
Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely.

Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no 
longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. 
Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. 
Notice
:
The  use  of  silicon  sealant  may  inhibit  the  effectiveness  of 
some  types of  leak  detection  equipment.  Intrinsically  safe  components  do  not 
have to be isolated prior to working on them.
