of products.
European directive 99/92 EC concerning users.
From the 1st July 2006, it is incumbent on the managers of
industrial sites to comply with the minimum safety regulations
described in the directives which need to be routinely followed
in hazardous locations. The obligations on the employer or
site manager are mainly (section 2, article 3) to:
- draw up a risk analysis document concerning the protection
against explosions (DRPCE – article 8) which is binding for
the head of the organization and for the person responsible
for the site (evaluation of the risks and the positioning of risk
zones,
- implement measures aimed at preventing the formation of
potentially explosive atmospheres and avoiding the ignition
of these atmospheres,
- minimize the “harmful effects of an explosion in the interest
of workers’ health and safety”.
Definition of zones at risk from Gas explosions: 0/1/2 Classification of Gases and Vapours
Definition of zones at risk from dust explosions: 20/21/22
Gases or Vapours are classifed into three subdivisions:

“The test on the condition of aromatic hydrocarbons involves testing the ageing of materials over
