Does anyone know what the regulations are for setting up electric gates in oil and gas explosion-proof places?

Our unit is going to build a small oil collection station and is planning to install two electric gates. I don’t know if there are any safety issues.
Did I understand it wrong? Please add two standards (not applicable to explosion-proof areas): JG/T 154-2003|Electric retractable fence gate JG/T 155-2003|Electric swing-opening and sliding wall gates
I would like to ask if there is any problem in designing electric doors for explosion-proof places in case of fire.
Fire doors should be used in explosion-proof places. GB 12955-2008 Fire Doors has detailed requirements for fire doors, but it does not mention the issue of electric doors. However, I personally believe that once a fire occurs, it is very likely to cause a power outage, so it is recommended not to use electric doors.
I think so too, but it is said that the electric gate can be opened manually during a power outage. I am a craftsman and I am not sure about this aspect.
If there is a power outage, you should be able to open it manually
