Electrical and non-electrical equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres must be designed in such a way that it cannot become an ignition source. Safety regulations, laws, regulations and standards exist in most states to prevent serious injury and damage to property and the environment. The European Community has created a uniform European explosion protection regulation in the form of the ATEX directives. The training course “Fundamentals of explosion protection” covers these regulations in addition to basic physical principles and information on standards, zones and types of ignition protection.
