Classes

Class	Hazardous Material in Surrounding Atmosphere
Class I	Hazardous because flammable gases or vapors are present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.
Class II	Hazardous because combustible or conductive dusts are present.
Class III	Hazardous because ignitable fibers or flying’s are present, but not likely to be in suspension in sufficient quantities to produce ignitable mixtures. Typical wood chips, cotton, flax and nylon. Group classifications are not applied to this class.

Some typical Class I locations are:

Petroleum refineries and gasoline storage and dispensing areas;
Offshore Platforms;
Dry cleaning plants where vapors from cleaning fluids can be present;
Spray finishing areas;
Aircraft hangars and fuel servicing areas; and
Utility gas plants and operations involving storage and handling of liquified petroleum gas or natural gas.
All of these are Class I, gas or vapor, hazardous locations. All require special Class I hazardous location equipment.

Some typical Class II locations are:

Grain elevators;
Flour and feed mills;
Plants that manufacture, use or store magnesium or aluminum powders;
Producers of plastics, medicines and fireworks;
Producers of starch or candies;
Spice-grinding plants, sugar plants and cocoa plants; and
Coal preparation plants and other carbon handling or processing areas.

Some typical Class III locations are:

Textile mills, cotton gins;
Cotton seed mills, flax processing plants; and
Plants that shape, pulverize or cut wood and create sawdust or flyings.

Divisions

In addition to the types of hazardous locations, NEC also defines the conditions under which these hazards are present. NEC specifies that hazardous material may exist in two different kinds of conditions which can be described as either normal conditions or abnormal conditions.
The Division defines the probability of hazardous material being present in an ignitable concentration in the surrounding atmosphere.

Division	Presence of Hazardous Material
Division 1	The substance referred to by class is present during normal conditions.
Division 2	The substance referred to by class is present only in abnormal conditions, such as a container failure or system breakdown.

Groups

Nature of Hazardous Substances. The group defines the hazardous material in the surrounding atmosphere.

Group	Hazardous Material in Surrounding Atmosphere
Group A	Hydrogen, fuel and combustible process gases containing more than 30% hydrogen by volume or gases of equivalent hazard such as butadiene, ethylene, oxide, propylene oxide and acrolein.
Group B	Hydrogen, fuel and combustible process gases containing more than 30% hydrogen by volume or gases of equivalent hazard such as butadiene, ethylene, oxide, propylene oxide and acrolein.
Group C	Carbon monoxide, ether, hydrogen sulfide, morphline, cyclopropane, ethyl and ethylene or gases of equivalent hazard.
Group D	Gasoline, acetone, ammonia, benzene, butane, cyclopropane, ethanol, hexane, methanol, methane, vinyl chloride, natural gas, naphtha, propane or gases of equivalent hazard.
Group E	Combustible metal dusts, including aluminum, magnesium and their commercial alloys or other combustible dusts whose particle size, abrasiveness and conductivity present similar hazards in connection with electrical equipment.
Group F	Carbonaceous dusts, carbon black, coal black, charcoal, coal or coke dusts that have more than 8% total entrapped volatiles or dusts that have been sensitized by other material so they present an explosion hazard.
Group G	Flour dust, grain dust, flour, starch, sugar, wood, plastic and chemicals.
