AS/NZS IEC 60079.10.1:2022
[Current]Explosive atmospheres, Part 10.1: Classification of areas — Explosive gas atmospheres
AS/NZS IEC 60079.10.1:2022 adopts IEC 60079 10 1:2020, which specify requirements for the classification of areas where flammable gas or vapour hazards may arise and may then be used as a basis to support the proper design, construction, operation and maintenance of equipment for use in hazardous areas.
