Hazardous Area Classification (HAC / IP15)
Identifying and classifying hazardous areas where flammable gases or vapours may be present to ensure safe equipment selection and operational safety.
Managing Explosion Risks in Hazardous Environments
Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) is a systematic process used to identify areas where flammable gases, vapours or combustible substances may be present in sufficient quantities to create explosion hazards. Proper classification ensures that equipment installed in these areas is suitable and compliant with safety standards.
CIH Consult performs Hazardous Area Classification studies based on recognised international standards and industry practices. Our consultants assist organisations in identifying hazardous zones, evaluating ignition risks and ensuring appropriate safety controls are implemented in industrial facilities.
