It can be gas, vapor or dust.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>An oxidizing agent, <\/strong>once combined with the fuel, enables combustion. This is generally oxygen from the air. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A source of ignition, <\/strong>i.e. a sufficiently large energy source (minimum ignition energy) or a sufficiently high temperature (self-ignition temperature). These may include electrical or mechanical sparks, open flames, electrostatic discharges, etc.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>An explosive atmosphere can therefore provoke an explosion, which consists of almost instantaneous combustion, unlike fire, which is more gradual.

The aim of this zoning is to adapt or readapt the equipment present on site according to the degree and type of danger, in order to limit the risks.   <\/p>\n\n<p>This process also protects employees.
