What Is an Explosion?

According to CENELEC and IEC, hazardous locations in Europe are divided into six different danger zones. The higher the probability that a potentially explosive atmosphere occurs, the more rigorous the requirements on operating equipment to prevent, for example, origination of sparks or hot surfaces.
