Sparkplug HV standards

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
