DEFINITION OF CLASSIFIED ZONES
FOREWORD Definition of zones as shown in directive 99/92/CE
ZONE 0
Place where an explosive atmosphere made up of a mix of air and inflammable sub-
stances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is continuously present, either for long periods
or frequently.
Note: Generally speaking, said conditions, when they occur, involve the inside of tanks,
pipes and containers, etc.
ZONE 1
Place where it is probable that an explosive atmosphere, made up of a mix of air and
inflammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist, can occur occasionally during
normal operation.
Note: Said zone can also include:
- places in the immediate vicinity of zone 0;
- places in the immediate vicinity of supply openings;
- places in the immediate vicinity of filling and and emptying openings;
- places in the immediate vicinity of appliances, protection systems and fragile glass and ceramic compo-
nents, or components made of other similar materials;
- places in the immediate vicinity of inadequately sealed stuffing boxes, e.g., on pumps
and valves with stuffing box.
ZONE 2
Place where it is improbable that an explosive atmosphere, made up of a mix of air and
inflammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist, can occur during normal
operation, but which, if it does occurs, only persists for a short time.
Note: Said zone can include, among others, places surrounding the zones 0 or 1.
ZONE 20
Place where an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible powders in
the air is continuously present, either for long periods or frequently.
Note: Generally speaking, said conditions, when they occur, involve the inside of tanks,
pipes and containers, etc.
ZONE 21
Place where it is probable that an explosive atmosphere, in the form of a cloud of combustible powders in
the air, can occur occasionally during normal operation.
Note: Said zone can include, for example, among others, places in the immediate vicinity of powder
loading and emptying points and places where powder layers form or which, during normal opera-
tion, could produce an explosive concentration of combustible powders mixed with the air.
