Authority Having Jurisdiction ‐

Europe

Explosion protection is legally regulated worldwide by the governments of  the individual states. 

Country‐specific differences in the technical requirements and requested approvals for explosion‐

proof  devices are a significant hindrance to the trade of  globally operating manufacturers, and 

necessitate high development and approval overheads. It has been the interest of  leading 

industrial nations for a long time already to eliminate these hindrances by harmonization of  the 

relevant technical

 standards,

 and

 to

 implement

 uniform

 safety

 standards

 at

 the

 same

 time.

 Within

 the European Community, the harmonization process in the explosion protection sector has been 

largely completed in the meantime. At the international level, the IEC is attempting to reach the
