It sets rules for the design, construction, and testing of tools such as drills, saws, and sanders, to make sure they are safe for use in places where there may be explosive gases or dusts. Testing should include measurements of electrical safety, insulation resistance, and explosion-proof properties. The standard also includes requirements for labeling and instructions for use.
