The term explosion proof refers to products that are capable of containing an explosion. It does not, however, indicate that the product is capable of withstanding an internal explosion without allowing flames or hot gases to escape and initiate an explosion in the adjacent atmosphere. The term explosion proof must be assigned to the products that are certified by competent authorities after passing prescribed tests.

In electrical and safety engineering, hazardous locations are places where fire or explosion hazards may exist. Sources of such hazards include gases, vapors, dust, fibers and flyings  which are combustible or flammable. Electrical equipment installed in such locations can provide an ignition source due to electrical arcing or high temperatures. Standards and regulations exist to identify such locations, classify the hazards and design equipment for safe use in such locations.
