Methods of Protection The following table summarizes available methods of protection for use
in given locations.
Protection Concept Designation Permitted Use Principle
Explosionproof XP Division 1 & 2 Contains explosion and
quenches flame.
Intrinsic Safety IS Division 1 & 2 Limit energy of sparks under
normal and fault conditions.
Pressurized Type X and Y Division 1 Keeps flammable gas out.
Pressurized Type Z Division 2 Keeps flammable gas out.

under normal conditions
Temperature
Classification Equipment intended for installation directly within the hazardous
location classification must also be classified for the maximum surface
temperature that can be generated under normal or fault conditions as
referenced to either 40°C (104°F) or the maximum operating ambient of
the equipment (whichever is greater). The maximum surface
temperature must be less than the minimum autoignition temperature of
the hazardous atmosphere present. The temperature shall be indicated in
identification numbers as listed in the following table.
