    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Gives guidance on the selection of the appropriate group orsub-group of electrical apparatus, protected by flameproofenclosure or designed to be intrinsically safe, according to thegas or vapour in which it is intended to be used.Provides a classification of most used gases and vapours and givesguidance on tests to classify additional gases or vapours notlisted in this publication. This publication has the status of atechnical report.
