below are approved for the installation:
1.
Type MI (Mineral Insulated),
type MC (Metal Clad),
type MV (Medium Voltage),
or
type TC (Tray Cable) with end connectors or cables
that are routed in cable tray systems in such a way
that tensile stress at the cable ends is reliably pre-
vented.
2.
Type ITC (Instrumentation Tray Cable) in cable
trays or cable channels, supported by communica-
tion cables. These require mechanical protection
and are routed openly or directly concealed at the

Combus-
tible gases
Measurements of combustible gases are only permitted with a device made of piping and an additional purge
gas monitoring (e.g. Siemens Minipurge, Order No. 7MB8000-1AA).

gases
Measurements of gases/gas mixtures that are always explosive are not permitted. Measurements of gas-
es/gas mixtures that are rarely or temporarily explosive are only permitted with devices made of piping that
are provided with flame arrestors and have additional purge gas monitoring.
