Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD
0.1 This
Indian

was adopted
by the Indian
Standards
Institution on 2 September
1982, after the ~draft finalized by the Industrial
Process
Measurement
and Control
Sectional
Committee
had been
approved by the Electrotechnical
Division Council.
0.2 Zener barrier provides protection
to the system against ignition by
limiting
the flow of electrical
energy from the non-hazardous
to the
hazardous area ( both voltage and current ) by means of built-in components, without interfering
with the circuit operation while retaining the
galvanic connection between portions of circuitry operating in hazardous
and non-hazardous
locations.
Guide to application of zener barries hams
been given in Appendix A.
0.3 This barrier can be used in all hazardous zones and divisions, if the
circuitry is properly designed and installed and certified by recognized
competent statutory authority.
It can cater to most of the instrumentation
requirements
but not to
all, as an economic,
safe and efficient
alternative
to explosion-proof
enclosure type system or other systems.
