OVERVIEW OF ELECTRICAL CLASSIFICATIONS AND SERVICES

Electrical Area Classification is critical to understanding the electrical requirements in potentially hazardous conditions and is required for PSM regulated processes, as well as in areas around combustible dust accumulations.

ADF can develop and audit electrical area classification maps for both existing and new hazardous facilities per NFPA and ATEX standards.

Electrical Area Classification Process

Electrical Area Classification maps are used to determine the boundaries and electrical safety rating per NEC 70E in potentially hazardous facilities.

ADF can define these boundaries according to NFPA guidelines or extend them to meet client-specific requirements that extend beyond these minimum areas.

For example, it may be simpler to define and control an entire room with an electrically hazardous rating, rather than defining the minimum envelopes around certain hazards.

Conversely, by defining the exact minimum hazardous areas around specific hazards, certain non-rated equipment, such as a ticket-printer for a truck loadout building, may be located in a more convenient space.
