Zone 21 means the project site may produce combustible dust, fiber normally when the project operates, here are some recommended explosion proof lighting, control box and fittings for your options subject to ATEX and IECEx standard.
In Simple Word
Zone 21 area means ignitable concentrations of hazards, flammable dust, are likely to exist under normal operating conditions.
In Quantitative Measurement
Zone 21 area means ignitable concentrations of hazards, flammable dust, present from 10 hours to 1,000 hours every year.
Where ignitable concentrations of flammable dust:
Are likely to exist under normal operating conditions
May exist frequently because of repair, maintenance operations or leakage

Zone 21 ATEX is a place in which an explosive atmosphere, in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air, is likely to occur occasionally in normal operation based on EN60069 standard. For example, bagging points and inspection point of flammable dusts are frequently opened. In the open air, dust clouds are unlikely to persist for more than a brief period, and any zoning is likely to be very limited in extent, in this case, we classify this location as Zone 21 ATEX.
The typical difference between Zone 21 and Zone 22 is the duration time of flammable dusts in the environment. Flammable dusts last from 1 hour to 10 hours in 365 days in Zone 22, but from 10 hours to 1000 hours in 365 days in Zone 21. Thus, Zone 21 is more dangerous than Zone 22. Electrical equipment certified for Zone 21 can be also used in Zone 22, but electrical equipment certified for Zone 22 can be NOT used in Zone 21.
ATEX is the most recognized standard for explosion proof equipment all over the world. ATEX stands for Atmosphères Explosibles. It’s a European Union directive from the European Committee for Standardization that covers “equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.” An atmosphere can be explosive for several reasons, including flammable gases, mists or vapors, or combustible dust.
All equipment and protective systems intended for this type of use in the EU must meet ATEX health and safety requirements.
Zone 0 and Zone 20 area are respectively the most hazardous in flammable gases and dusts areas. Zone 0 and Zone 20 are areas in which a combustible gases or dusts, as a cloud, present continuously or frequently during normal operations in sufficient quantities to produce an explosive mixture, usually more than 1000 hours every year.
IECEx certificate stands for certificate of International Electrotechnical Commission Explosive, is widely recognized by users in the world excluding in Europe and North America, provides a means for manufacturers, regulators and users of equipment used in hazardous areas to address the risk of fires or explosions from flammable gases or dusts. The objective of the IECEx System is to facilitate international trade in equipment and services for use in explosive atmosphere, maintaining International Confidence in equipment, personnel, and services.
