Mitigation of the explosion effects
(Constructive Explosion Protection)
If hazardous explosive atmospheres cannot be
safely avoided and their ignition cannot be excluded,
then measures must be taken which limit the effect
of explosions to a safe degree, e.g.
by means of:
> explosion pressure resistant construction
> explosion relief devices
> explosion suppression by means of
extinguishers
The principle of integrated explosion protection
requires following explosion protection measures
in a certain sequence.
