Hazardous dust atmosphere
For dusts, the procedure specied in ISO/IEC 80079-20-2 for determin-
ing the ignition temperature has to be applied. The ignition temperature
is determined separately for dust clouds and dust layers, respectively.
For dust layers, the ignition temperature depends on the dust layer thick-
ness per IEC/EN 60079-14.

The instruments must not be used in areas in which an atmosphere
consisting of explosive hybrid mixtures (dusts mixed with gases) can
occur.
