Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) Services
In industries where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present, identifying and classifying hazardous areas is crucial to prevent potential explosions and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. At Elion Technologies, we specialize in providing comprehensive hazardous area classification services, adhering to international standards to help industries across India maintain safe operational environments.
Understanding Hazardous Area Classification
Hazardous area classification involves evaluating environments where explosive atmospheres may occur and categorizing them based on the likelihood and duration of such occurrences. This classification guides the selection of appropriate equipment and safety measures to mitigate risks.
Classification Systems
We utilize globally recognized classification systems to assess hazardous areas:
- IEC Zone System: Commonly used internationally, this system divides areas into Zones 0, 1, and 2 for gases/vapors, and Zones 20, 21, and 22 for dusts, based on the frequency and duration of explosive atmospheres.
- NEC Class/Division System: Predominantly used in North America, this system classifies areas into Classes I, II, and III, with Divisions 1 and 2, depending on the type of hazardous material and the likelihood of its presence.
