Equipment groups
I
Equipment group I applies to equipment intended for use in underground
parts of mines as well as those parts of surface installations of such mines
endangered by firedamp and/or combustible dust.
II
Equipment group II applies to equipment intended for use in other places
liable to be endangered by explosive atmospheres. This group is subdivided
into three categories.

Gas
Dust
Definition
1G
(0)
1 D
(20)
Equipment in this category is intended for use in areas in which
explosive atmospheres caused by mixtures of air and gases,
vapours or mists or by air/dust mixtures are present continuously, for
long periods or frequently.
2 G
(1)
2 D
(21)
Equipment in this category is intended for use in areas in which
explosive atmospheres caused by gases, vapours, mists or air/dust
mixtures are likely to occur.
3G
(2)
3D
(22)
Equipment in this category is intended for use in areas in which
explosive atmospheres caused by gases, vapours, mists, or air/dust
mixtures are unlikely to occur or, if they do occur, are likely to do so
only infrequently and for a short period only.
