Introduction
Hazardous area classification is an important part of processes safety and integrity.
The term hazardous area , in the meaning of this document, refers to an area created by the
presence of an explosive atmosphere.
The term is also known as Electrical Area Classification, in the older references, or as "zoning".
In Europe and beyond, ATEX (ATmospheres EXplosive) became an accepted standard for the
management of the activity in the hazardous areas in order to protect staff and assets, and is
based on the same principles, regardless of the country where the facility is located.
There are, however, differences between national laws governing these activities.
This document outlines legislation, regulations and standards applicable in Romania in order to
guide their own engineering staff or contractors due to differences from other countries.
ATEX is governed by Directive 94/9/EC, Directive for equipment and by Directive 1999/92/EC,
Directive for personnel. Both Directives have been transposed into the Romanian legislation.
Consequently, ATEX regulations and reference standards, e.g. series of standards EN 60079, EN
/ ISO 80079, EN 1127 and EN 13463 are mandatory.
List of reference standards are periodically updated and published in the Official Journal of the
European Union, available on the website:
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/european-standards/harmonised-standards/equipmentexplosive-atmosphere/index_en.htm
ATEX regulations refer to all equipment, electrical and non-electrical.
The latest edition of standard EN 60079-0, divides the explosive atmospheres into 3 groups:
group I mines susceptible to firedamp
group II gases, vapours or mist, other than those from the mines susceptible to
firedamp
group III explosive dusts, other than those from the mines susceptible to firedamp
Subdivision of group II
IIA, typical gas: propane
IIB, typical gas: ethylene
IIC, typical gas: hydrogen
Subgroup of group II are divided considering the maximum experimental safe gap MESG or
minimum ignition current or MIC( minimum ignition current ) of explosive gaseous
atmosphere in which the equipment may be installed (EN 60079-20-1).
In oil and gas installations of OMV Petrom, EP Division, were identified explosive substances
from group II (gases) and its subgroups, IIA (propane), respectively, IIB (ethylene).
No substances from subgroup IIC (Hydrogen) or group III (dusts) were identified.
Substances from group I (firedamp) were identified locally, e.g. in oil mine Monteoru.

Objectives
This document presents the applicable regulations and standards, the steps to be followed in
different phases of a project, and the documents to be prepared in order to conform to national
legal requirements.
In order to achieve the same outcome for all installations, documentation must meet both the
requirements of authorities and the requirements of OMV Petrom.
4
Content Procedure
The next chapters mentions briefly the minimum requirements and actions to be taken in
engineering, design, construction and operation readiness of plants where explosive
atmospheres are present or where they are expected to occur.
Where, for those actions, there is an applicable standard it was preferred to refer to the
appropriate standards, without going into details.
4.1 Step 1: Qualifications of Personnel
The area classification should be carried out by those who understand the relevance and
significance of properties of flammable materials and by those who are familiar with the
process and the equipment. Such personnel should consult with safety, electrical, mechanical
and other qualified engineering personnel as required.
The design of the installation, the selection of equipment and the installation covered by this
standard shall be carried out only by persons whose training has included instruction on the
various types of protection and installation practices, relevant rules and regulations and on the
general principles of area classification. The competency of the person shall be relevant to the
type of work to be undertaken.
Note 1: Requirements for qualification of personnel are described in the 5th edition of standard EN 6007914
Nota 2: According to NEx 01-06 the companies that design, construct, maintain or repair equipment in
explosive atmospheres or prepare documentation for obtaining attestation of facilities shall have
certified staff and specific procedures.
4.2 Step 2: Identification of Flammable Substances

The identification of flammable substances is made using analysis reports of crude oil, gases or
water injection. These documents are usually available to the Assets.
If such reports are not available or don t contain enough data, the contractor shall order them,
at his own expenses, from an authorized laboratory.
4.3 Step 3: Properties of Flammable Substances
The standard EN 60079-20-1 gives the characteristics of flammable substances as follows:
Equipment Subgroup / Energy of ignition
Auto-ignition temperature / Temperature class
Flash Point
The most common flammable substances present in plants of E&P are (in order of
increasing hazard):
Methane (IIA T1) Lean gas
Page 5 of 22

Edition: 01

Hexane / Octane (IIA T3) Rich gas or crude oil, H2S not present
Hydrogen Sulphide (IIB T3)
Annex 1 lists the relevant properties, for this document, of crude oil, and gas. The Data has
been obtained from the examination of over than 40 analysis reports and Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) of flammable petroleum used in E&P.
Consequently the subgroup IIB and temperature class T3 cover the usual requirements for oil
and gas installations from E&P.
In case more hazardous substances are identified than those above mentioned they will be
listed by CAS number (Chemical Abstract System).
Unclassified liquids:
Petroleum products having a Flash Point higher than 100 C will not be classified in the
conditions specified in the Company Standard for Areas Classification.
Water Injection circuits, e.g. pumps or manifolds, where fluids contain less than 200 ppm of
hydrocarbons, is not classified. Exceptions:
o
o
Tanks for untreated reservoir water or which may be occasionally used for oil storage
Pumps that may be used for conveying oil or because the location of those pumps fits in
the zone produced by neighbouring equipment.

characteristics according to EN 60079-10-1
Part I: Flammable material list and
4.4 Step 4: Source of Release and Ventilation

The basic elements for establishing the hazardous zones types are the identification of the
sources of release and the determination of the grades of release.
4.4.1 Identification of Source of Release
The sources of release may be classified as continuous, primary or secondary grade.
4.4.2 Characteristics of Ventilation
Type of ventilation:
natural or artificial ventilation (general or local)
Degree of ventilation (dilution): high, medium, low
Availability of ventilation:
good, fair, poor
Combining the concepts of degree of ventilation and level of availability depending on the
grade of release results in a quantitative method for the evaluation of zone type (see Annexes B
and C of EN 60079-10-1).
4.5 Step 5: Hazardous Areas Classification
Area classification is a method of analysing and classifying the environment where explosive
gas atmospheres may be present so as to facilitate the proper selection and installation of
equipment to be used in that environment. The classification also takes into account the
ignition characteristics of the gas or vapour such as ignition energy (equipment group) and
ignition temperature (temperature class).
In particular, zone 0 or zone 1 areas should be minimised in number and extent by design or
suitable operating procedures. In other words, plants and installations should be mainly zone 2
or non-hazardous.
Where the release of flammable material is unavoidable, process equipment should be limited
to those which give secondary grade releases or, failing this (that is where primary or
continuous grade releases are unavoidable), the releases should be of very limited quantity and
rate. In carrying out area classification, these principles should receive prime consideration.
Page 6 of 22

Edition: 01

Where necessary, the design, operation and location of process equipment should ensure that,
even when it is operating abnormally, the amount of flammable material released into the
atmosphere is minimised, so as to reduce the extent of the hazardous area.
Hazardous areas are classified in zones based on the frequency and duration of explosive
atmospheres. Areas (0,1, 2 or unclassified) are defined in Art. 5, Definitions.
Hazardous area classification is considered for normal operation.
Hazardous area classification shall be in compliance with EN 60079-10-1 and Company
Standards for Areas Classification.
Deliverable: Hazardous area classification data sheet Part I: List of sources of release
according to EN 60079-10-1.
4.6
Step 6:
Hazardous Areas Drawing
After classifying areas, a risk assessment shall be performed in order to determine if the
consequences of ignition of an explosive atmosphere requires the use of equipment with a
level of explosion protection (EPL) higher than what would normally be required, or if you can
use a device with a lower EPL than normally required.
Requirements for EPL / ATEX category will be listed in the ATEX documents, including
Hazardous plan to allow the correct choice of equipment.
Hazardous area plan will include the following:
Plans and elevations of three-dimensional model, if any, showing the type and extent of
zones (quotas) and the requirements listed below
Classification of gases or vapours in relation to equipment group or subgroup
Temperature class or ignition temperature of the gas or vapours existing in the
hazardous area
External influences and ambient temperature
Requirements for the protection level of equipment (EPL). This requirement applies even
if the consequences were not subject to a risk assessment
Calculus criteria, including the source and grade of release and the type, degree and
availability of ventilation (EN 60079-10-1).
Hazardous area drawings will be delivered both in a signed form, on paper, and in native
format (e.g. AutoCAD), non-secured. Recommended format: A2/A3. Areas will be highlighted
by patterns, according to EN 60079-10-1, so that black and white print does not create
confusion. Paper format will be presented and laminated for posting in site.
Deliverable: Area classification drawings.
4.7
Step 7:
Equipment Selection
For new installations the selected equipment must have been tested and certified in
accordance with directive 94/9/EC and current editions of the standards series EN 60079, EN
13463 and EN / ISO 80079.
Note: The addition, expansion or modification of existing facilities is considered a new installation.
The types of anti explosive protection are shown in Annexes 2 and 3.

If no risk assessment was done then the typical risk assessment from EN 60079-14 (see Table
no. 1) shall be used.

The use of equipment with a lower or higher EPL than was specified in the Table no. 1 shall be
demonstrated.
To allow access to the bidding of different manufacturers and, taking into consideration the
progress of technology, references to Ex equipment will be made quoting the following:
The area where the equipment will be used (zone 0,1 or 2) and,
o The required EPL, or
o The required ATEX equipment category and
Equipment Group and Temperature Class (usually IIB T3)
Justified: type of explosion protection.
Note 1: Mentioning the type of protection may be necessary in Detailed Design Phase, case in which e.g.
for Ex i equipment (safety intrinsically), it is necessary to design appropriate circuits.
Note 2: The use of a higher EPL than requirement is allowed in procurement phases as a result of a
better offer. Example: the requirement is for an EPL Gc. 1st offer: intrinsically ic (EPL Gc), price A. 2nd
offer: intrinsically ia (EPL Ga) or ib (EPL GB), both of them at price B < A. 2nd offer is preferred and the
reason is: it presents the best price with respect of technical criteria.
Note 3: Since July 2012 mentioning EPL on the marking for each Ex equipment is mandatory.
4.7.1
Conformity Assessment Procedure
Depending on the intended ATEX category, the manufacturer or his authorized representative
established in the EU may choose one of the procedures described in Directive 94/9/EC that
ensures and declares the compliance of product with the requirements of the directive.
The conformity assessment procedures allowed by the Directive are presented in Annex 5.
4.7.2
Preferred Types of Protection
Table no. 2 presents the types of protection currently used in OMV Petrom EP and gives
recommendations on their use. This table serves as a guide only and is not intended to
influence the choice of technology.
The contractor must provide justification for the use of another type of protection than the ones
mentioned below (e.g. a better price for another protection type may be a reason but
traditionally manufacturers offer only this type of protection is not acceptable).
Types of protection unchecked in the table are not commonly used in OMV Petrom EP.

Equipment for explosive gas atmospheres, having a "very high"

level of protection, which is not a source of ignition in normal
operation, expected malfunction or when subject to rare
malfunction. Such equipment will have a form of protection,
which will remain effective even in the presence of two potential
faults (for example, intrinsic safety, level of protection ia ), or
will have two independent means of protection (for example, Ex
e and Ex d acting independently of each other).
Equipment for explosive gas atmospheres, having a "high" level
of protection, which is not a source of ignition in normal
operation or when subject to faults that may be expected,
though not necessarily on a regular basis. (The majority of the
standard protection concepts bring equipment within this
equipment protection level).
Equipment for explosive gas atmospheres, having a "normal"
level of protection, which is not a source of ignition in normal
operation and which may have some additional protection to
ensure that it remains inactive as an ignition source in the case
of regular expected occurrences (for example failure of a lamp).
Typically this will be an Ex n equipment.
(Auto) Ignition
temperature of an
explosive gas
atmosphere
Lowest temperature of a heated surface which, under specified

conditions according to specific conditions will ignite a
flammable substance in the form of a gas or vapour mixture with
air( IEV 426, EN 60079-20-1)

NOTE 1: Minor releases of flammable material may be part of normal

operation. For example, releases from seals, which rely on wetting by
the fluid that is being pumped, are considered to be minor releases.
NOTE 2: Failures (such as the breakdown of pump seals, flange gaskets
or spillages caused by accidents), which involve urgent repairs or
shutdown, are not considered to be part of normal operation nor are
they considered to be catastrophic.
NOTE 3: Normal operation includes start-up and shutdown conditions.
Classification of electrical equipment related to the explosive

atmosphere for which it is to be used (IEV 426)
NOTE: EN 60079-0 standard, ed. 5, defines 3 groups: group I(mines
susceptible to firedamp) group II (vapours and gases) group III
(dusts)
Concentration of flammable gas, vapour or mist in air below

which an explosive gas atmosphere will not be formed ( IEV 426)
Subdivision of the type of protection, correlated with the
explosion protection level (EPL) that differentiates the probability
for an equipment to become a source of ignition (EN 60079-0)
Explanatory note: Type of intrinsically protection (i) is divided in levels
of protection "ia", "ib" and ic , and that they are correlated with EPL's
Ga, Gb and Gc (for explosive gas atmospheres)
Specific measures for equipment applied to prevent ignition of

explosive atmospheres surrounding ( IEV 426)
Highest temperature which is attained in service under the most
adverse conditions (but within the specified tolerances) by any
part or surface of equipment
Maximum surface
temperature
Flash point
Lowest liquid temperature at which, under certain standardized

conditions, a liquid gives off vapours in a quantity such as to be
capable of forming an ignitable vapour/air mixture( IEV 426)
UEL- upper
explosive limit
Concentration of flammable gas, vapour or mist in air, above

which an explosive gas atmosphere will not be formed ( IEV 426)
User
For the purpose of Directive 99/99/EC and NEx 01-06: Company

who operate the plant. The user may not be the same with the
owner.
Zone 0
An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is present

continuously or for long periods or frequently ( IEV 426)
Zone 1
An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur

in normal operation occasionally( IEV 426)
Zone 2
Area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur

in normal operation but, if it does occur, will persist for a short
period only( IEV 426)
NOTE: This temperature may occur on an internal component or on the

external surface of the enclosure, depending upon the type of
protection employed

Edition: 01
Non-hazardous
area (on account of
explosive gas
atmospheres)
An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not expected to

be present in such as quantities to require special precautions
for the construction, installation and use of equipment
