The term · hazardous area
What “hazardous area” means for a smartphone
A hazardous area is a place where flammable gas, vapour or combustible dust may be present. Standards divide these into zones: Zones 0, 1 and 2 for gas and vapour, and Zones 20, 21 and 22 for dust. Zone 1 and Zone 21 are the tier where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation, which is where the IS-04Z1 is designed to work. Anything carried in must be marked for the zone, gas group and temperature class of the area.
No certificate has been issued for the IS-04Z1 yet, so it must not be taken into a classified area until the certificate covering it exists and the site operator has accepted it.
In Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. The hazardous areas at Baddi are mainly rooms inside plants: solvent storage and dispensing, granulation and coating, reactor areas and warehouse solvent stores. Each plant's operator classifies its own rooms, not SAMS and not a device supplier. A buyer should obtain the classification record for the room before deciding where any handheld may go.
