Abstract :
For the development of new technology for hazardous areas, the exchange of experience and a close cooperation between the manufacturer, the user and the test house is absolutely necessary. In this paper, some examples are shown for the newest installation techniques with the same high level of safety using cost saving practices for maintenance in European chemical plants. The simplification of the installation techniques makes it possible that even a nonspecialist is able to install the equipment without a decrease in safety.
