11.4 Ignition temperature and temperature classes
The ignition temperature of a flammable gas, vapor or dust is the lowest temperature of a heated
surface at which the ignition of the gas/air mixture or vapor/air mixture occurs. It is practically the
lowest temperature value at which a hot surface can ignite the corresponding volatile atmosphere
and lead to explosion.
