In this seminar attendees can expect to learn: \n\n- What electrical area classification is\,\n- Key terminology necessar y to conduct area classification risk assessments and develop area classif ication drawings\,\n- Key applicable standards\, including NFPA 70 (Nation al Electrical Code)\, API RP 500/505\, NFPA 496/497/499\, and the IEC 6007 9 series\, with emphasis on their scope\, differences\, and practical appl ication in industrial environments\, and\n- Key factors in reading\, inter preting and developing electrical area classification drawings\, highlight ing common symbols\, boundary delineations\, and the integration of proces s safety data.\n\nDeveloped for engineers\, designers\, and technical prof essionals working in oil & gas\, chemical\, and manufacturing sectors\, th is session will equip attendees with the knowledge to confidently engage w ith area classification documentation and contribute to safer\, code-compl iant electrical designs.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Donald G.
