Specifies general requirements for the selection, installation and maintenance of electrical equipment for use in areas where flammable materials are generated, prepared, processed, handled, stored or otherwise used, and which are therefore potentially hazardous.

Scope

This Standard specifies general requirements, additional to those required for basic electrical safety, for the selection of electrical equipment and instruments, and associated equipment, and for the electrical equipment’s installation and maintenance to ensure safe use in hazardous areas where flammable materials are generated, prepared, processed, handled, stored or otherwise used.

This Standard does not apply to those materials which are specifically manufactured as explosives, or to materials which are inherently explosive or pyrophoric. Explosive materials may require special considerations which are beyond the scope of this Standard.

The requirements of this Standard apply only to the use of electrical equipment under normal or near normal atmospheric conditions. For other conditions, additional precautions may be necessary. For example, most flammable materials and many materials which are normally regarded as non-flammable might burn vigorously under conditions of oxygen enrichment. Other precautions might also be necessary in the use of electrical equipment under conditions of extreme temperature and pressure. Such precautions are beyond the scope of this Standard.

Precautions which may be necessary against the effects of static electricity and against lightning are also outside the scope of this Standard, except for the general recommendations indicated in Clause 1.9.
