Provides guidance on the classification of areas associated with the production, processing, handling and storage of heavier-than-air and lighter-than-air flammable gases. It includes specific examples of classification for such areas. To be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 2430.3.1:1997.

This Standard provides examples of area classification for areas associated with the production, processing, handling and storage of heavier-than-air and lighter-than-air flammable gases. It is part of the AS/NZS 2430.3 series which recommends the classifications of several commonly occurring situations and should be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 2430.3.1.Caution should be exercised when considering lighter-than-air gases with densities close to that of air, or any lighter-than-air gas which may be cooled substantially below ambient air temperature (e.g. by expansion from a compressed liquefied, or refrigerated liquefied state); such gases may actually be heavier-than-air gases, or their behaviour may be sufficiently close to that of heavier-than-air gases and therefore those Clauses pertaining to heavier-than-air gases should be used.For flammable gases in refineries and major processing plants reference should be made to AS/NZS 2430.3.5, which uses the Generalized Method of classification.
