Background
During consultancy work we noticed that a standard way of assessing and calulating hazardous areas, based on IEC 60079-10-1 standard, would save a lot of time and effort. After first working with an Excel worksheet, we came to more reliable tools and finally we came to the point that we realised ourselves: why not sharing this useful tool with others?
We decided to develop a web-based platform where users can assess potentially hazardous areas in an easy and controlled way. With an extensive integrated help function, availability of examples and a downloadable user manual and online tutorials, Hazcalc can be used quite easy.
