Equipment Group Classifi cation

Equipment Group Application Area of the Devices

IEquipment intended for use in underground parts of mines, and to those parts of the surface installations of such mines, liable to be endangered by fi redamp and/or combustible dust

II Equipment intended for use in other places liable to be endangered by explosive atmospheres (eg. Refi neries, industrial plants, silos,…)

Equipment group I is subdivided into the following two categories:

Category M1 M2

OperatingConditions

Equipment has to remain function-al, even in the event of an explosive atmosphere present.

Equipment is intended to be de-en-ergized in the event of an explosive atmosphere.

Requirements for Protec-tion Measures In the event of failure of one means

of protection, at least an indepen-dent second means provides the re-quisite level of protection, or the re-quisite level of protection is assured in the event of two faults occurring independently of each other.

The equipment in this category must provide the requisite level of protection during normal operation even under more severe operating conditions, such as those arising from rough handling and changing environmental conditions.

In the European Economic Area the equipment group II is currently subdivided into 3 catego-ries or 6 zones (IEC 60079-0:2007 will cause a few changes here):

Type of Atmosphere Zone Category Equipment Labeling

Gas (“G”)

Zone 0 1 G II 1 G

Zone 1 2 G II 2 G

Zone 2 3 G II 3 G

Dust (“D”)

Zone 20 1 D II 1 D

Zone 21 2 D II 2 D

Zone 22 3 D II 3 D

Temperature Classes

Temperature Class T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6

Maximum Temperature 450 °C 300 °C 200 °C 135 °C 100 °C 85 °C


EX Approvals

Europe (ATEX)The ATEX Directive 94/9/EC came into force on 1 July 2003, superseding national legislation in the member states of the European Union. The Directive regulates the bringing to market and commissioning of ATEX products. It must be emphasized that Directive 94/9/EC contains requirements for all parties releasing products on the market and/or operating them, whether this may be the manufacturer, their agent, the importer or any other person responsible for this. However, the directive does not govern the use of equip-ment within potentially explosive areas, such as for example equipment covered by Directives 1999/92/EC, 92/91/EC and 92/104/EC.

Australia, New Zeeland (IECEx)The driving force for IECEx approvals comes from manufacturers and users of Ex products. By providing an international certifi cation scheme, the IECExsimplifi es the international sale for manufacturers of equip-ment intendedfor use in explosive atmospheres.

USA (UL CSA)Explosion-proof electrical equipment must also be tested in the USA prior to operation in potentially ex-plosive areas. Approved testing organisations (NRTLs - Nationally Recognised Testing Laboratories), such as e.g. FM, UL, CSA, amongst others, test the equipment for compliance with the appropriate regulations and standards and compile an „Approval Report“ for operation in „Hazardous Locations“. In addition, FM has been issuing a „Certifi cate of Compliance“ in recent years. This is an excerpt from the Approval Report and only contains data and information important for the operator.

Canada (CSA UL)In Canada, the circumstances are comparable to those in the USA. The CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) applies here and testing is carried out according to CSA standards. Approved testing laboratories are CSA, UL, FM and some others. As in the USA, approval for the operation of equipment within potentially explo-sive areas is also required in Canada for hazardous locations. In addition, the usual Safety Approval („CSA Approval“), certifying compliance to the electrical safety standards also applies here.

Russian Federation (GOST)In 2001, Russia introduced a new set of standards, which govern the following points:The requirements for the construction of explosion-proof electrical equipment.The classifi cation of potentially explosive areas.The use of explosion-protected electrical equipment with different levels of protection within potentially explosive areas.The introduction of the new standards served mainly for the purpose of harmonisation with the standards outlined in the IEC 60079 set of norms.
