Hazardous Area Classification

Hazardous Area Classification is a method of analyzing and classifying the environment where explosive gas atmospheres may occur. The main purpose of this classification is to facilitate the proper selection and installation of the apparatus to be used safely in that environment, taking into account the properties of the flammable materials that will be present.

When electrical equipment is used in, around, or near an environment that has flammable liquids, flammable gases or vapours, ignitable fibers or flyings, combustible dust, there is always a likelihood or risk that an explosion or fire could occur.

Those areas where the likelihood or risk of explosion or fire might happen because of an explosive atmosphere and/or mixture is often known as a hazardous (or classified) location/area.
