Also known as non-hazardous or ordinary locations, these locations are determined to be neither Class I, Division 1 or Division 2; Zone 0, Zone 1 or Zone 2; or any combination thereof. Such areas include a residence or office where the only risk of a release of explosive or flammable gas would be such things as the propellant in an aerosol ...
Class 1 goods are subdivided further into one of 6 distinct divisions, that describes the predominant explosive hazard that exists if that article was to detonate or activate while in transport or storage. These divisions are as follows: Class 1: Explosives. Division 1.1: Explosive that has a mass explosion hazard. A mass explosion is a ...
1.2: Any quantity 1.3: Any Quantity 1.4: 1,001 lb (454 kg) O O: O: O O O 1.5: 1,001 lb (454 kg) 1.6: 1,001 lb (454 kg) Key The absence of any hazard class or division or a blank space in the table indicates that no restrictions apply. : This indicates that segregation among different Class 1 materials is governed by the compatibility group ...
1. Industrial or Mining Application 2. Equipment Category 3. Atmosphere 4. Temperature The ATEX as an EU directive finds its US equivalent under the HAZLOC standard. This standard given by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration defines and classifies hazardous locations such as explosive atmospheres.
Explosion protection is used to protect all sorts of buildings and civil engineering infrastructure against internal and external explosions or deflagrations. It was widely believed [ 1 ] until recently that a building subject to an explosive attack had a chance to remain standing only if it possessed some extraordinary resistive capacity.
Definition [1] [3] 1: General-purpose. Protects against dust, light, and indirect splashing but is not dust-tight; primarily prevents contact with live parts; used indoors and under normal atmospheric conditions. 2: Drip-tight. Similar to Type 1 but with addition of drip shields; used where condensation may be severe (as in cooling and laundry ...
Intrinsic safety (denoted by "i" in the ATEX and IECEx Explosion Classifications) is one of several available methods for electrical equipment. see Types of protection for more info. For handheld electronics, intrinsic safety is the only realistic method that allows a functional device to be explosion protected.
