Hazardous Area
Hazardous Area
(OP)
Hi there,
So far as i know definitions for classified areas have been defined by north americans as class I div I,II,... as opposed to Zone 0,1,.. of Europeans.
Anybody has heard anything like "Class I zone 0" which it seems to me a combination of both?
Any reference would be appreciated.
Regards,

To summarize the approximate equivalents:
Class 1, Div 1 = Zone 1
Class 1, Div 2 = Zone 2
Zone 0 is special. Only required for a constantly present hazard (like inside a fuel tank). It's included in Div 1 in the North American system.
