An explosion-proof area has been designated in the vicinity of the hazard source (which is classified as Category A). There are several rooms in this ordinary factory located within that explosion-proof area. The question is: 1. Should the fire hazard associated with this ordinary factory also be classified as Category A? ? ? ? Why? Is it necessary to consider whether the explosion-proof area of the factory occupies 5% of the total floor area of the factory? 2. Does the explosion-proof area in a regular factory building also need to be explosion-proof? ? Can areas outside the explosion-proof zone of a factory building not be made explosion-proof? ? 3. Can there be doors and windows in the explosion-proof area of the factory building? What safety measures or safety designs are needed? ?
Why isn’t anyone responding? ? ? ?

1. Is fire hazard related to explosion resistance or lack thereof? Fire prevention is different from explosion prevention; they should not be confused. For that percentage mentioned later, it is recommended to check the building codes. The concept is not understood correctly. 2. No problem – explosion-proof areas are meant to be explosion-proof. There’s no issue with installing explosion protection outside the area as well. 3. There is no requirement stating that doors and windows cannot be present. These doors and windows are related to the explosion-proof area. If explosion protection is absolutely not necessary, then consider using fixed windows and explosion-proof doors, or simply a wall. . .
