The guideline VDI 2263 Part 6.1 offers practical guidance and approaches to protective measures complementing the guideline VDI 2263 Part 6, the latter dealing with the principles of the procedures. This guideline, therefore, will assume that the reader is familiar with VDI 2263 Part 6. This guideline is applied to measures for explosion protection in dust extraction installations where, during specified normal use, combustible dust/air mixtures, vapour/air mixtures or hybrid mixtures occur or may be formed. This guideline offers, to manufacturers as well as, particularly, to users, guidance in the form of examples of risk assessments and protective measures.
