Assessment of inadvertent ignition of flammable atmospheres by radio-frequency radiation - Guide

This standard provides guidance in assessing the possibility of inadvertent extraction of energy from an electromagnetic field propagated from communication, radar or other transmitter aerials and the coupling of this energy to an EED in a manner capable of causing initiation. It does not cover the similar hazard arising from electromagnetic fields generated by other means, for example electrical storms, electricity generating plant or power transmission lines, nor does it cover the potential hazards that may arise in oil and gas exploration and production operations
