sion protection solutions that will ensure active protection and information support for operating in high risk and complex environments. At the same time the new concepts will be fully adapted to end-users’ needs and working conditions as specified by the target groups.

of the association are as follows:

to develop, to finance and to organize new research concepts
to promote, to develop and to disseminate information
on intelligent explosion protection solutions

Overall strategy
