Hazardous Location Lighting Basics
Class I: GasesAreas in which flammable gases or vapors in the air in sufficient quantities to ignite or explode.
Class II: DustAreas in which combustible dust may be suspended in the air or accumulates on electrical equipment in quantities sufficient to ignite or explode.
Class III: FibersAreas in which easily ignitable fibers or flyings are present. Typically fibers and flyings are not suspended in the air, but can collect around machinery or on lighting fixtures.
Class I: GasesGroup A - AcetyleneGroup B - HydrogenGroup C - EthyleneGroup D - Propane
Class II: DustsGroup E - Electrically conductive dustGroup F - Carbonaceous dustGroup G - Agricultural and polymer dust
CLASSES
Division 1: Always PresentAreas in which ignitable concentrations of hazards exist under normal operation conditions and/or where hazard is caused by frequent maintenance or repair work or frequent equipment failure.
Division 2: Not Normally PresentAreas in which ignitable concentrations of hazards are normally in closed containers or closed systems. Hazards may be present due to accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems.
DIVISIONS GROUPS
IEC publication 60079-10 uses Zones to define the guidelines for classifying hazardous areas. Zone 0 - Areas where explosive gas atmosphere is continuously present or present for long periods of time.
Zone 1 - Areas where explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation or can be expected to be present frequently.
Zone 2 - Areas where explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur and if it does, it will only be present for a short period of time.
Zone 20 - Areas in which a combustible dust, as a cloud, is present continuously or frequently during normal operations in sufficient quantities to produce an explosive mixture.
Zone 21 - Areas in which a combustible dust, as a cloud, is likely to occur during normal operations in sufficient quantities to produce an explosive mixture.
Zone 22 - Areas in which combustible dust, as a cloud, is not likely to occur, but may occur infrequently and persist for only short periods of time.
