Dust Explosive Atmospheres! (Zone System & Class/division System)

Dust explosive atmospheres are locations that are hazardous due to the presence of combustible dusts. Small combustible dust particles can burn easily and rapidly. A sufficient quantity of them can cause an explosion.

In this hazloc animation, Hazcon presents the following concepts in a very simplified format:

1) How combustible dusts are grouped
2) How hazardous locations in which dusts are present are classified (both Zone and Class/division systems)
3) Protection techniques for equipment used in hazardous areas in each system (Zone and Class/ division)
4) Interpretation of Ex marking based on the Zone system (IECEx)
5) Interpretation of Class/ division marking based on the Class/division system (US/CA)
6) Explanation of the use of Class/division equipment in the Zone system in North America and vice-versa
7) Correct installation of dust-certified equipment in Zone system hazardous locations as per its EPL
