General Information: Class 1 Div 1 Lighting

What is Class 1 Div 1 Lighting?

Class 1 Division 1, or C1D1, is a classification of explosion ratings. It’s designed to work in explosive environments and hazardous conditions where ignitable concentrations of flammable combustible vapors, liquids, or gases are always present.

What is a Class 1 Division 1 Area?

Class 1 Areas are groups. Groups are categorized by the type of material found. The most common groups are:
  • (A) Acetylene
  • (B) Hydrogen
  • (C) Ethylene and/or propane
  • (D) Propane, butane, methane and benzene.
Note: all of our class 1 div 1 lighting are certified for Groups C and D. Some are certified for Group B. Please check the specifications for each light if you specifically need C1 D1 Group B.

Is Class 1 Division 1 Lighting Considered Explosion Proof Hazardous Location Lights?

Yes, C1D1 is explosion-proof under UL844 testing standards.

Is Class 1 Div 1 a Stricter Class?

Yes, it is. Class 1 Division 1, or C1D1, is the strictest of all standards. It’s designed for an environment where danger is always present

What’s the Difference Between Class 1 Division 1 and Class 1 Division 2?

The main difference is the presence of gas or other explosive materials. C1D1 handles ‘always present dangers. Division 2 in Class 1 is for ‘sometimes present’ environments.

What are the Benefits of Using Class 1 Div 1 LED Lighting?

Like other LED lights, explosion-proof fixtures provide the same key benefits.
  • Energy saving
  • Reduced maintenance
  • Improved quality of light
  • Long Lifespan
They also meet the certification requirements needed in Class 1 Div 1 applications. And they will provide a safe lighting environment and works well in a hazardous location requiring repair or maintenance operations.

Are There Specific Certifications or Standards That Class 1 Division 1 LED Lights Must Meet?

All the Class 1 Division 1 light fixtures on this page meet and pass the UL844 standard for explosion proof lighting.

Is Class 1 Div 1 the Same as Atex Classifications?

Class 1 Division 1 is a UL Classification of explosion-proof lighting that we use in North America. ATEX is a different standard not used in this country. Lights that are UL rated and tested for C1D1 do not always qualify for ATEX certification and vice versa. In other words, a similar ATEX classification to C1D1 does not mean the light has met UL standards for class i div 1 lighting.

What are Some Industrial Applications for Class 1 Division Lighting?

  • Oil and Gas Industry – petroleum refineries, oil platforms, drilling rigs
  • Chemical Manufacturing
  • Ocean, Marine and Aerospace Industries
  • Food and Alcohol Production, Distilleries

What are the Best Applications of Class 1 Division 1 Lighting?

The best applications of Class 1 Division 1 lighting are hazardous, explosive environments. This is where explosive gases or materials (such as dust) are always present in the atmosphere. While these applications are typically inside a room or facility, it’s not limited to that environment. There are times when outdoor locations also need Class i Division 1 lighting, like offshore oil/gas drilling platforms.

Is Class 1 Div 1 LED Lighting Intrinsically Safe?

It can be. But there’s a difference between explosion-proof and intrinsically safe lighting. Explosion-proof fixtures design handles the case an explosion starts inside the fixture. The explosion would channel and cool inside the fixture. So, when it comes to the point to escape the fixture, it does not result in an explosion in that environment. Intrinsically safe lights are different. They’re designed in such a way that they are not capable of creating an explosion or spark. They are low-voltage battery-operated fixtures.
