The Institute for Standardization of BiH, through its Technical Committee , Equipment for explosive atmospheres, adopted the BAS EN 14460:2021, Explosion resistant equipment. This BiH standard is identical to the European standard EN 14460:2018, Explosion resistant equipment.

BAS EN 14460:2021 specifies requirements for explosion resistant equipment which will be able to withstand an internal explosion without rupturing and will not give rise to dangerous effects to the surroundings. It is applicable to equipment (vessels and systems) where explosions are considered to be exceptional load case.

There are two types of explosion resistant equipment: explosion pressure resistant and explosion pressure shock-resistant equipment.

This standard applies to equipment and combinations  of equipment where deflagrations may occur and it is not applicable to equipment and combinations of  equipment where detonations may occur.
