| Feb 5, 2019 at 11:45 | comment | added | Andy aka | @MahmoudRagab what pericynthion might be alluding to is that a design for a piece of handheld portable equipment may be subject to a more stringent Ex classification because it may get used (contrary to handbook instructions and labeling) in a zone where the average probability of an ignitable gas and oxygen mix is higher than that of a home. | |
| Feb 4, 2019 at 22:29 | comment | added | Mahmoud Ragab | @pericynthion Here I am taking about unit designed to be installed inside the home permanently and not portable units, however what will be wrong about taking the device from one home to another ? | |
| Feb 3, 2019 at 21:17 | comment | added | pericynthion | The OP said "for use in homes", which could be subtly different from "for use in the home". e.g. Perhaps they are designing a piece of portable survey equipment to be used by gas company technicians responding to calls from customers who think they smell a gas leak. If that were the case, one of the Ex categories could certainly be applicable. Perhaps @MahmoudRagab can clarify. | |
| Feb 3, 2019 at 9:59 | comment | added | Andy aka | As I said in my answer, a gas leak detector improves safety so, providing it has been reasonably well designed, it is a net benefit to the environment. I can't assess a design remotely on minimal documentation. | |
| Feb 2, 2019 at 21:51 | comment | added | Mahmoud Ragab | Thanks alot ,my concern was that a spark might be initiated when the buzzers turn on and off, but I saw this photo of a chinese device where it has a lot of windows in the outer casing and the whole circuit can be in contact with the gas as it flows inside,is such a design safe? ae01.alicdn.com/kf/UTB8bI1BG5aMiuJk43PTq6ySmXXaP.jpg | |
