Hazcon Inc.

Explosion Protection

& Hazardous Area Equipment

Hazcon Inc. provides a full suite of consulting services for manufacturers of electrical equipment for hazardous locations and explosive atmospheres.

Their primary focus is to help manufacturers prepare for all phases of certification of these products – from product design, approval and installation to certification maintenance.

Application of Standard IEC 61010-1

IEC 61010-1 is a hazard base standard covering laboratory, measurement and process control equipment. This standard includes any type of hazard which could arise during installation, operation, service and maintenance.

IEC 61010-1 addresses the requirements for protection against types of hazard listed below:

  1. Electric Shock or Burn
  2. Mechanical Hazards
  3. Spread of Fire
  4. Excessive Temperature and Skin Burns
  5. Effects of Fluids and Fluid Pressure
  6. Effects of Radiation, Including Lasers, Sonic or Ultrasonic Pressure
  7. Liberated Gases, Explosion or Implosion
IEC 61010-1

IEC 61010-1

For any North American hazardous location certification (Zone or Division markings), the equipment must first comply with the general safety, also known as ordinary location requirements.

Therefore, compliance with standard CSA/UL 61010-1 is the FIRST step for laboratory, measurement and process control equipment that will be used in a hazardous location.

This should be taken into account for all hazloc certification in North America.

An ill prepared or unprepared application can easily extend the process.

Hazardous Area Classification HAC

Hazardous Areas

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.

Appleton

lIGHTING Hazardous Areas

There is an international trend in the global hazardous area industry sector to upgrade conventional explosion proof lighting to use energy-efficient LED lighting technology with ATEX certification.

Calculate maintenance, energy and environmental savings achieved by upgrading to Appleton LED luminaires with this interactive lighting retrofit calculator tool.

The Appleton Lighting Retrofit Calculator helps users visualise savings accomplished by retrofitting their current lighting system to an Appleton LED solution.

1. Input existing costs associated with maintaining current legacy lighting installation (high intensity discharge (HID), fluorescent, incandescent). Costs include labour for maintenance personnel, electricity, replacement lamps and ballasts, and equipment rental to perform lighting maintenance. Select an Appleton LED solution.

2. Once the data is entered, compare existing costs to proposed Appleton LED solution and see the reduced environmental impact.

3. You can download the calculator results or share via e-mail
