Instrument groups
applies to instruments used in underground mining operations, as well as
I their above ground operations, which can be endangered by mine gas
and/or flammable dusts.
applies to instruments used in the remaining areas which can be
II
endangered by a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Instrument category
Instruments of this category are for use in areas where ignitable
1G 1D
atmospheres caused by a mixture of air and gases, vapours or mists
or by dust/air mixtures, can exist all of the time or for long periods of
(0) (20)
time or else frequently.
Instruments of this category are for use in areas where ignitable
2G 2D
atmospheres caused by a mixture of air and gases, vapours or mists
(1) (21)
or by dust/air mixtures, can exist some of the time.
Instruments of this category are for use in areas where ignitable
3G 3D atmospheres caused by a mixture of air and gases, vapours or mists
or by dust/air mixtures, are not likely to exist. However, if they do
(2) (22)
occur then in all probability, only seldom or for short periods of time.
