This document specifies test methods and requirements for the design of electrical devices, when under normal operating conditions, on small craft so that they can be operated without igniting a surrounding flammable gas atmosphere.

This document does not apply to ignition protection procedures for:

—     devices or components that can operate in hydrogen and air mixtures;

—     devices with dysfunctional issues;

—     mechanisms of ignition from external sources, such as static electricity, lightning or other factors not related to the equipment under test.
