ATEX area classification drawings
– Identify risk areas at a glance.
A space classification drawing is a visual map showing where spaces are at risk of explosion. It is an essential part of the explosion protection document and for inspections by the authorities.
ATEX classification drawing
The ATEX classification drawing illustrates the different zones (Zone 0, 1, 2 / 20, 21, 22) on the workplace floor plan. It helps to design equipment, electrical installations and access routes to be safe.
Protect’s experts will prepare the drawing as part of the explosion protection document or as a separate service. The drawing includes:
-
Risk zone delimitations and colours
-
Equipment used on the premises
-
Potential ignition sources
-
Information critical to staff and the authority
The drawing is also useful:
- In rescue planning and training
-
Work safety rounds
-
Electrical and automation design

Guide for Authors of Explosion Protection Documents – In this guide, we explain how to conduct an assessment properly and in a way that meets all requirements.
Are you planning new production facilities or changes to your current operations?
Involve an ATEX expert from the very beginning of the project. This will ensure that safety and equipment requirements are taken into account in the design, and avoid costly changes later on.
Well-designed explosion protection:
-
Saves on project costs and life cycle costs
-
Speed up the administrative processes
-
Improve worker and production safety
