There is a risk of fire or explosion in all areas
containing flammable substances in the form of
liquids, gases, dust or materials. Where these
combustible materials are mixed with air in sufficient
concentration they form flammable atmospheres and
the areas containing them are designated Hazardous
Areas. When a source of ignition, such as a spark, is
applied in a hazardous area, an explosion could take
place.
Electrical equipment supplied for use in Hazardous Areas must comply with requirements to ensure that its introduction into the area does not increase the existing risk.

systems and equipment for use in Hazardous Areas
which can be connected to Fire Detection Systems
