This compendium should enable project engineers, managers, safety professionals and other interested parties to judge if explosion risks are present in their own company or during the construction, equipment and installation, even without specific knowledge on explosion protection. 

The compendium is not intended to answer the question whether protective measures are necessary and possible: due to differences in national regulations in many situations it is not possible to make definitive statements.

Instead problems are highlighted and solutions are formulated, in order to meet safety objectives.
