sphere other than mines susceptible to firedamp.
Equipment of Group III is subdivided according to the nature of the explosive dust
atmosphere for which it is intended.
Group III subdivisions:
• IIIA : suitable for combustible flyings;
• IIIB : suitable for combustible flyings and non-conductive dust;
• IIIC : suitable for combustible flyings, non-conductive dust, and conductive
dust.
The maximum surface temperature in degrees Celsius.
Equipment protection level Dc. Same as ATEX directive Equipment category 3D.
For explosive atmospheres, caused by mixtures of air and combustible dust, the
equipment does not contain any effective ignition sources in normal operation.
Ambient temperature range.
Certificate number. If the sign "X" is placed after the certificate number, it indic-
ates that the equipment is subject to specific conditions for safe use.
