Abstract |
These guidelines are concerned with the evaluation and prevention of ignition hazards due to the accumulation of electrostatic charges in premises where there is an explosion hazard, or when explosives are being used. Definitions; basic data on electrostatic charges and discharges and on flammability of an explosive atmosphere; general protective measures (classification of hazard areas, earthing, electric resistance of floors, clothing). The greater part of the guidelines are devoted to detailed safety provisions concerning: objects made of solid non-conducting materials; non-conducting liquids; aerosols and dust (e.g. conveyor or transmission belts, liquid transfer, spray painting, printing, dry cleaning). Appended are tables giving pertinent data on: liquids; gases and vapours; dust (ignition energy); floors, stockings worn (electrical resistance). |
