Combustible dusts, flammable gases, mists or vapors can all contribute to potentially explosive atmospheres in the workplace.
Hazardous
Manufacturers & suppliers are challenged to ensure their equipment complies with local government, regulatory, and international safety standards proving their equipment is safe and fit for use in hazardous locations. Hazardous Location Testing verifies that a product does not present a risk of explosion when placed into a potentially explosive atmosphere (hazardous location).
The testing is performed by evaluating the method of protection applied in the design of the device. The testing process consists of subjecting the device to a potentially explosive atmosphere and attempt to cause a critical failure within the device’s protection system. If a device does not experience a critical failure and meets all additional requirements set forth by the applicable hazardous location standard, the device is considered compliant for use within the tested environment.
