Sparkplug HV standards

Udtwmc
Hello,


Anyone know which standard covers sparkplugs, specifically protection against direct contact of the high voltage electrodes? 40,000V


I have an exposed sparkplug designed to ignite a flammable atmosphere such that the electrodes protrude outside its enclosure. This is in a restricted access area but i would still like to include a grill around the electrodes to prevent direct contact, but not sure what IP rating i need to comply.


BS EN 60204-11 states Ip4x, but again i'm not sure a sparkplug falls under HV power standards?? I'd hope to go with IP2x if i can to allow as much gas to engulf the spark plug.


Thanks

    In modern cars the spark plugs and leads (or coil packs) are now inaccessible to protect the owner doing any home maintenance easily. They are covered by a big unnecessary plastic cover that prevents easy entry to the H.V. cables and hot engine parts. This big plastic cover is designed to cause engine parts to overheat so adding to the local garage's profits.
