Specialized Seminar: “Fundamentals of Explosion Protection”

by Columbus McKinnnon | 26 Nov 2025


Electrical and non-electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres must be designed so that it does not become a source of ignition. To prevent serious injury, property damage, and environmental harm, most countries have safety regulations, laws, ordinances, and standards in place.

With the ATEX Directives, the European Community has established a uniform European system of explosion protection. The regulations contained therein—along with the physical principles and explanations of standards, zones, and types of ignition protection—are covered in the training course “Fundamentals of Explosion Protection.”
