issca Hazardous Area Solutions: Ensuring Safety and Reliability in High-Risk Environments
In industries where safety cannot be compromised—such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining—issca Hazardous Area Solutions provide vital protection against catastrophic failure. By offering explosion-proof, intrinsically safe, and zone-classified equipment, issca helps industries comply with stringent safety regulations while maintaining operational efficiency.
Understanding Hazardous Areas and Their Risks
A hazardous area refers to an environment where flammable gases, vapors, dust, or fibers may be present in sufficient quantities to ignite. These zones are classified under international standards (ATEX, IECEx, NEC), and safety solutions must be precisely engineered to match these classifications.
- Zone 0 / Division 1: Continuous or frequent presence of explosive atmosphere.
- Zone 1 / Division 2: Likely during normal operation.
- Zone 2 / Division 3: Rare or accidental presence.
