Equipment category equipment grouping
The method of classification relevant to the explosive atmospheres in which the equipment is intended:
Note: IEC 60079-0 divides equipment into three categories:
---Class I: equipment for coal mine gas environment;
---Class II: equipment for all other explosive gas atmospheres except coal mine gas atmospheres, and this type of equipment is further divided into several categories;
---Class III: Equipment for all other explosive dust atmospheres other than coal mines, and this type of equipment is divided into several categories:

Achievable by any part or any surface of Ex equipment when operating under the most adverse operating conditions (but within the specified tolerances)
maximum temperature:
Note 1: For Ex equipment for explosive gas atmospheres, the temperature appears on the internal components or on the outer surface of the enclosure, depending on the type of protection:
Note 2: For Ex equipment for explosive dust atmospheres, this temperature appears on the outer surface of the enclosure and includes the specified dust layer conditions:
