This one comprehensive source for installation principles includes the following attributes:

• types of explosive atmospheres
• likelihood an explosive atmosphere is present
• ignition-related properties of explosive atmospheres
• temperature classifications based on maximum surface temperatures
• methods of explosion protection regarding electrical and non-electrical risks of ignition
• markings required by both standards and by national or regional regulations
• national, regional and international standards, including a “Find Your StandardTM” feature based on the selection of five simple data points
• ingress protection (IP) codes and Type ratings for equipment enclosures Contact options for additional information and questions
