Operating electronics near combustible material?
If I operate a controller device near a flammable or explosive material storage tank, then surely, that control box must have a safety rating which is supposed to ensure no sparks or anything like that can occur.
What is that rating called ( I mean, like IP rating for dust and water),
and do you know a link where I can read about it? Thanks.

The key phrase to look for is "intrinsically safe". The wikipedia article has some useful links:

Yeah I think intrinsically safe is the right word, but there are also different "standardised ratings" such as "rated for explosive atmosphere/s" in relation to being able to operate within flammable atmospheres etc.
A good search term:
rating rated "explosive atmosphere"
