Under the CSA scheme, hazardous locations have traditionally been defined by the following combination of Class and Division:
Class I: A location where a quantity of flammable gas or vapor, sufficient to produce an explosive or ignitable mixture, may be present in the air.
Class II : A location made hazardous by the presence of combustible or electrically conductive dust, including Groups E (metal dust), F (coal dust) and G (grain dust).
Class III: A location made hazardous by the presence of easily ignitable fibres or flyings in the air, but not likely in sufficient quantities to produce ignitable mixtures.
Division 1 : A location where a classified hazard is likely to exist.
Division 2 : A location where a classified hazard does not normally exist but is possible under abnormal conditions. SEICO/EXHEAT carries a range of electric heaters that have been certified for Class I, Div 2 Gas Group A, B, C, D
