Explosive atmospheres - Explosion prevention and protection - Part 1: Basic concepts and methodology

This European Standard specifies methods for the identification and assessment of hazardous situations leading to explosion and the design and construction measures appropriate for the required safety. This is achieved by: ? hazard identification; ? risk assessment; ? reduction of risk; ? information for use. The safety of equipment, protective systems and components can be achieved by eliminating of hazards and/or limiting the risk, i.e. by: a) design without using safeguarding; b) safeguarding; c) communication links if necessary to convey information to the user; d) any other precautions. Measures in accordance with a) (prevention) and b) (protection) against explosions are dealt with in Clause 6, measures according to c) against explosions are dealt with in Clause 7.
