Hazloc tools are tools and equipment used in hazardous location environments where flammable gases, vapors, combustible dust, fibers, or other conditions may require specialized equipment selection.

Explosion proof equipment is designed to contain or manage ignition risks within the equipment housing based on its rating. Intrinsically safe equipment is designed to limit electrical or thermal energy so it does not become an ignition source under specified conditions.
