This document specifies test methods and requirements for the design of electrical devices, when under normal operating conditions, on small craft so that they can be operated without igniting a surrounding flammable gas atmosphere. This document does not apply to ignition protection procedures for: — devices or components that can operate in hydrogen and air mixtures; — devices with dysfunctional issues; — mechanisms of ignition from external sources, such as static electricity, lightning or other factors not related to the equipment under test.
