- Summary:
- This publication provides a practical guide for managing the presence and use of portable self-energised electrical and electronic devices within potentially explosive atmospheres. It provides a structured approach which can be followed by site personnel supervising and managing the presence and use of portable self-energised electrical and electronic devices on a day-to-day basis. This document aims to provide guidance in relation to the electrical ignition risks within areas with potentially explosive atmospheres. It therefore includes: vapours and mists - such as petroleum products; gases - such as hydrogen, and combustible dusts - such as food products and cement. The guidance only covers electrical ignition risks from self-energised devices (including those powered by extra-low voltage), and therefore mechanical sources of ignition and devices powered by mains electricity are not covered. However, some of the guidance within this document (such as section 12) may have some useful guidance which can be applied to the use of equipment powered by mains electricity.
