PRECAUTIONS FOR FLAMEPROOF 
ENCLOSURE “d” CERTIFIED UNDER 
JAPANESE TYPE CERTIFICATION
1.   General
The following describes precautions on electrical 
equipmentprotectionbyameproofenclosure
“d” for use in explosive atmospheres (hereinafter 
referred to as Flameproof enclosure “d” equipment).
Following the Labor Safety and Health Laws of 
Japan,ameproofenclosure“d”equipmentisan
electrical equipment which has Type Approval by 
JapanesecerticationbodyaccordingtoOrdinance
No.45 of 30 September 1972 and the latest 
amendment: Ordinance No. 121 of 30 June 2016 
by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and 
Welfare.Thesecertiedequipmentcanbeusedin

For electrical wiring and maintenance servicing, 
read USER’S GUIDELINES for Installations for 
Explosive Atmospheres in General Industry.
2.    Electrical equipment protection by 
ameproofenclosures“d”
Flameproof enclosure “d” has an enclosure(s) in 
which the parts which can ignite an explosive gas 
atmosphere are placed and which can withstand 
the pressure developed during an internal explosion 
of an explosive mixture, and which prevents the 
transmission of the explosion to the explosive gas 
atmosphere surrounding the enclosure.

with the types of protection increased safety “e”, oil 
immersion safety “o”, intrinsic safety “I”, and special 
protection“s”,aswellasameproofenclosure“d”.
3.   Terminology
(1) Enclosure
It contains all the walls, doors, covers, cable 
glands, rods, spindles, shafts, etc. which 
contribute to the Type of Protection or the 
degree of protection IP of the equipment.
(2)  Enclosure internal volume
It is total internal volume of the enclosure in 
which the contents are essential in service, the 
volume to be considered is the remaining free 
volume.

(4) Gapofameproofjoint
It is distance between the corresponding 
surfacesofaameproofjointwhenthe
electrical apparatus enclosure has been 
assembled. For cylindrical surfaces, forming 
cylindrical joints, the gap is the difference 
between the diameters of the bore and the 
cylindrical component.
