Explosion Protection
The important principles for integratedsafety explosion protection are as follows:
- Measures are taken to avoid hazardous atmospheres whenever possible.
- Measures are taken which prevent the ignition of hazardous atmospheres.
- Measures are taken which limit the explosive effect to a safe degree.
This differs from:
Primary explosive protection
- These are precautions taken to prevent or restrict the formation of hazardous explosive atmospheres.
Secondary explosive protection
- This covers the second group of measures, which are intended to prevent the ignition of an atmosphere that is capable of exploding.
