🚧 IECex Certification Course: Hazardous Area Classification Training 🚀

Course Headline:

Mastering Hazardous Area Classification and Equipment Protection as per IEC-60079! 🏭🔥

Course Description:

Understanding the Risks 🌪️ In the chemical industry, electrical and electronic equipment can generate significant heat, arcing, and sparking during operation. These can ignite flammable materials, posing a substantial risk of fire or explosion in facilities handling chemicals. To prevent such catastrophic events, it's essential that all electrical/electronic equipment is designed and labeled for the specific hazardous locations where they will be installed.

Hazardous Area Classification 📝 This course delves into the scientific and engineering principles behind the evaluation and classification of hazardous (classified) locations. We focus on the IEC-60079 standards, among others, to ensure the safe specification and installation of equipment within these areas. Our comprehensive training will help you understand how to read area classification drawings/diagrams, which are critical for reducing risks associated with hazardous environments.

Area Classification Drawings 📐 Learn how to interpret area classification drawings with ease, regardless of your experience level. These diagrams are vital for identifying the types of hazards present and specifying appropriate equipment for safe operation in hazardous locations.

Protection Techniques 🛡️ We cover a range of protection techniques as per IEC/EN 60079 standards, including:

• IEC/EN 60079-0: General Requirements
• IEC/EN 60079-1: Flameproof Enclosure 'd'
• IEC/EN 60079-2: Pressurization 'p'
• IEC/EN 60079-5: Powder Filling 'q'
• IEC/EN 60079-6: Oil Immersion 'o'
• IEC/EN 60079-7: Increased Safety 'e'
• IEC/EN 60079-11: Intrinsic Safety 'i'
• IEC/EN 60079-15: Electrical Apparatus type 'n'
• IEC/EN 60079-18: Encapsulation 'm'

Who Should Take This Course? 👨‍🔬👩‍💼 This course is designed for professionals working in various domains, offering valuable insights that will:

• Operation Engineers understand the significance and extent of Hazardous Area Classification.
