If, despite implementing primary explosion protection measures, you are unable to eliminate the possibility of an explosive atmosphere forming, secondary explosion protection measures must be taken. This refers to avoiding effective sources of ignition.

PERFECT LIGHTING IS ALWAYS BY DESIGN. YOUR LIGHTING SYSTEM: PLANNED BY EXPERTS. What’s true in heavy-duty applications holds true in general use: the quality of a lighting system doesn’t just depend on its luminaires. In order to provide even lighting with well-defined intensity thresholds, it’s important that lighting systems are designed to fit the facility – whether it’s an office building, a factory or a car park.

1. CAN FFP2 MASKS BE WORN IN HAZARDOUS AREAS? Only dissipative clothing can be worn in hazardous areas. FFP2 masks are made of insulating material, so it is important to consider whether dangerous charges could be present. When they are worn as intended, there is no risk of this happening. Since the mask is in direct contact with your body when worn, it becomes damp. As a result, the surface resistance on the inside of the mask rapidly decreases. FFP2 masks can therefore be considered dissipative. This means that they can be worn in hazardous areas for materials in explosion groups IIA and IIB in Zones 1 and 2, provided that: The activities do not involve any processes that will generate a significant charge No metallic components are present on the surface of the FFP2 mask Masks must be put on and removed outside the hazardous area. Please also note that FFP2 masks do not protect you against gases or vapours, or in the event of a lack of oxygen.

Hydrogen plays a key role as an energy source and energy storage medium in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy and society. In the joint project "Standardisation Roadmap for Hydrogen Technologies", the aim is to collaborate with experts from all areas of the hydrogen value chain to actively support the market scale-up of hydrogen and establish the necessary high-quality infrastructure. Prof. Dr. Arnhold is involved in the project as Head of the Working Group for Explosion Protection. In the following interview, he explains what the project is all about.

Loading and unloading tankers requires the utmost care. Product loss is not tolerated; measuring solutions must be reliable and suitable for custody transfer applications. Preparations for the operation are undertaken on board the ship and at the terminal, long before the ship docks. There are many rules that must be observed when it comes to loading and unloading. Ancillary processes such as balancing the ballast tanks must be successfully implemented alongside this operation.
