Some others also do socket fittings. You might have more luck with this:Update: I just checked, it appears Unitrunk only sell direct from their own places, and there's no central tel number, only published (massive) list prices and an email form.

Three types of Hazardous Areas are recognised as follows:
...
• Explosives Hazardous Areas – An area in which explosives material/substances of Explosives Ordnance are exposed to the atmosphere such that they require special precautions for the construction and use of equipment in order to prevent ignition of an explosives material/substance.
sound suspiciously like the material your working with... These rules don’t just apply to the Oil & Gas and offshore industries mate.
Well that’s straight from the compEX list of definitions. A standard used by every global Hazardous area company, and no offence I know which argument I would believe. OK. Your dealing with “Grams” irrespective of large factories. Your Duty of care is to ensure that your install ensures that the risk is ALARP. I wouldn’t be reliant on a 13amp B&Q socket for that.

That was one astounding bang, the shockwave created its own meteorological effect. I reckon that was tens, if not hundreds of tonnes of HE, all going off at once. Not ideal.Well that’s straight from the compEX list of definitions. A standard used by every global Hazardous area company, and no offence I know which argument I would believe. OK.
