Understanding Hazardous Area Classifications
Many hazardous environments are divided into zones based on the likelihood of explosive atmospheres being present.
Zone 0
Areas where explosive gas atmospheres are present continuously or for long periods.
Zone 1
Areas where explosive gas atmospheres are likely to occur during normal operations.
Zone 2
Areas where explosive gas atmospheres are unlikely to occur but may be present occasionally.
Dust Zones 20, 21 & 22
Areas where combustible dust presents a potential explosion risk.
Choosing the correct ATEX radioAn ATEX radio is a certified two-way radio designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, with protection against becoming an ignition source in specified hazardous areas. ensures compliance with site safety requirements and helps protect personnel working in hazardous environments.
