Hazardous Area Installation Standard

With the publication of the latest Hazardous Area installation standard AS/NZS 60079.14 the concept of Equipment Protection Levels [EPLs] has been implemented. This is designed to give larger companies the facility to apply an extended risk assessment and use a different level of protection than that which would normally be required by the zone of classification. A training video is available to fully explain what EPLs are and how they are intended to be used. Hopefully this will avoid creating artificial classification to achieve this end.
