Explosion protection refers to the methods and technologies used to prevent explosions in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present. This includes the design of equipment and facilities to contain potential explosions, as well as the implementation of safety measures such as proper ventilation and the use of explosion-proof materials. Key standards and regulations, such as those set by ATEX in Europe and NEC in the United States, guide industries on how to manage risks associated with explosive atmospheres. Regular training and maintenance are essential to ensure that safety systems remain effective and compliant with these regulations.
