How to maintain 'Intrinsically Safe' (IS) ratings for refinery cranes?

SEC-804 · Oil & Gas
Maintain IS ratings through certified technician inspections, approved replacement parts, and proper documentation of all electrical modifications.
Intrinsically safe crane systems require rigorous maintenance protocols to preserve their explosion-proof ratings in hazardous refinery environments. All electrical components must be serviced exclusively by certified technicians using manufacturer-approved IS-rated replacement parts. Any unauthorized modifications or non-compliant components immediately void the IS certification.
Reference: API RP 2003 (Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents)
