NFPA Definitions
Class I, Division 2.
A location (1) in which volatile flammable liquids or flammable gases are handled, processed or used, but in which the liquids, vapors or
gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or
breakdown of such containers or systems, or in case of abnormal operation of equipment; or (2) in which ignitable concentrations of gases or
vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation
of the ventilating equipment; or (3) that is adjacent to a Class I Division 1 location, and to which ignitable concentrations of gases or vapors
might occasionally be communicated unless such communication is prevented by adequate positive–pressure ventilation from a source of
clean air and effective safeguards against ventilation failure are provided. [See Section 500–4(b) of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.]
