Gases, vapours, mists and dusts can all form potentially explosive atmospheres with air.
Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) is used to identify places where, because of the potential for an explosive atmosphere, special precautions over sources of ignition are needed to prevent fires and explosions. Hazardous area classification should be carried out to identify places (or areas) where controls over ignition sources are needed and those places where they are not. Hazardous areas are further classified into Zones / Class & Divisions / Classes & Zones, which distinguish between places that have a high chance of an explosive atmosphere occurring and those places where an explosive atmosphere may only occur occasionally or in abnormal circumstances.

Class I, Division 2″, (or C1D2 for short), products are electrical devices approved for use in a hazardous area or location in North America. They can be manufactured anywhere in the world but, they need to be approved only by North American certifying agencies for use in Canada and the U.S.
The most common among them, for North America, are CSA, UL, FM Approvals, QPS, TUV and other Nationally Recognised Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) listed on the OSHA website.
Manufactures should identify the applicable standards for CLass 1 Division 2 C1D2 for their specific type of products for both “ordinary location” and “hazardous location” required.
The Canadian Electric Code/National Electric Code in the US requires that wiring that enters or leaves such equipment needs be protected by a conduit installation or special cables to protect the wiring system against mechanical damage. (Other than Non-incendive equipment).
Therefore, the equipment enclosure needs to have a provision for the connection of metal conduit or cable glands. This should be considered during the design stage.
