Webinar:
Understanding Electrical Classification
Electrical classification plays a key role in ensuring safety and efficiency within industrial facilities handling flammable materials and hazardous environments.
In this session, we will explore the fundamental principles of electrical classification, including identifying hazardous areas, classification codes and standards, types of ignitable substances, and methods for mitigating risks.
What you’ll learn:
- Introduction to electrical classification in the process industry
- Hazardous areas and their identification
- Classification codes and standards (e.g., NEC, IECEx)
- Types of ignitable substances (gases, vapours, dusts)
- Methods for mitigating electrical hazards (e.g., explosion-proof equipment, intrinsically safe systems)
- Regulatory compliance and best practices for maintaining safety standards
- Q&A session to address participant questions and concerns
This webinar is best for:
- Technical Manager
- HSE/EHS Manager
- Chemical Engineer
- Process Engineer
- Development/Process Chemist
