HI,

NEC art 500 states:

"The unique hazards associated with explosives, pyrotechnics, and blasting agents are not addressed in this article.

I want to specify electrical equipment to be install in an explosive and blasting agentes storage above ground (This are explosives for mine applications). I would like to know which standard cover these areas clasifications?. I would espect that these areas use Hazardous area rating equipment, so they must have some sort of area clasification.

Please comment. Thanks.
