The document defines three zones - red, yellow, and green - for areas with high, medium, and low toxic risk. It further defines three types of zones - zone 0 for areas with flammable gas continuously present over 1000 hours/year, zone 1 for areas where gas is likely present 10-1000 hours/year, and zone 2 for areas where gas would be present less than 10 hours/year. It identifies hazardous areas as those where flammable atmospheres may occur during normal operations or faults, and unclassified areas as those not defined as zones 0, 1, or 2 but still potentially unsafe.
