Relatively easy to be applied, but with specific
mechanical requirements. Maintenance and checks
are more time consuming.
Suitable for cabinets and motors.
Requires specific monitoring alarm systems.
Suitable for sensors, small circuits and solenoid
valves. Maintenance practically impossible.
Suitable for transformers and where there are
moving parts. Generally not widely used.
Suitable where there are no moving parts.
Present maintenance difficulty. Not widely used.
Suitable for non-sparking apparatus during normal
functioning (terminals, connections, lamp sockets,
motors). Particular construction requirements.
Suitable for process instrumentation. Economical
and easy installation, maintenance and checks.
Limited to low power circuits.
Similar to Ex «ia« except for the number of faults to
be considered.
Alternative to standardized types of protection for
zone 2 and division 2. No certificate required in Europe.
Additional requirements for equipment protected by
standardized types of protection.
Special requirements for equipment in dust
explosion hazardous areas.

At this moment there are three
directives for equipment intended
for use in Hazardous Area:
82/139/EEC (Mines)
Will be valid until June 30, 2003
Only Electrical Equipment
76/117/EEC (Surface Industries)
Will be valid until June 30, 2003
Only Electrical Equipment
New directive
94/9/EC (ATEX) valid since March 1,
1996 mandatory July 1, 2003
All Equipment, Protective Systems and
Components
Summary of changes:
Categorisation of equipment matching area
classifications.
Categorisation based upon Essential Safety
Requirements (ESR):
- Consider electrical and non-electrical equipment,
also dust-Ex hazardous areas
- Influencing equipment design with respect to

Marking example:
Category of Equipment
ATEX directive divides equipment into
groups and additional into categories:
Group I (Mines)
Subdivided into categories
M1 Equipment remains
functional with an
explosive atmosphere
present
M2 Equipment to be
de-energized in the
event of an explosive
atmosphere
Examples of Category marking:
1/2G for equipment interfacing Zone 0 and Zone 1 areas
1/3D for equipment interfacing Zone 20 and Zone 22 areas
(1) for associated apparatus with intrinsically safe output into Zone 0
Group II (Surface (non-mining) equipment)
Category subdivided into
1G (gas) Equipment with a very
1D (dust) high level of protection
2G (gas) Equipment with a high
2D (dust) level of protection
3G (gas) Equipment with a nor-
3D (dust) mal level of protection
Note: category 2D apparatus required
for Zone 22 (conductive dust).
