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 Vadinar, Gujarat. Vadinar's hazardous areas include refinery process units, the delayed coker, single buoy moorings and tankage, and product dispatch points. Nayara Energy classifies its own areas, and port authorities handle theirs. PESO is the national regulator, and SAMS has no role in classifying any area.
