In circuits with only one associated apparatus (= instrument in which not all circuits are intrinsically safe, e.g. PLC input card in non hazardous area), usually a \u201cbasic\u201d proof of intrinsic safety is sufficient. Normally, the plant owner gives a basic proof of intrinsic safety by comparing individual values from the instrument approvals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the European Union, the ATEX Directive 94\/9\/CE is compulsory for plants or machines, in which hazardous substances are processed or produced.
