Hazardous area classification
Hazardous area classification is used to identify areas where special precautions over sources of ignition are needed to prevent fires and explosions and where they are not. The EI produces internationally recognised guidance for providing methodologies for hazardous area classification around equipment storing or handling flammable fluids in the drilling, production, processing, distribution and retail sectors.
