• Operation in severe conditions (e.g. extreme climates, freezer application, strong magnetic fields);
• Operation subject to special rules (e.g. potentially explosive atmospheres, mines);
• Supply by electrical networks where the tolerances in voltage, frequency etc. differ from those in the public supplies;
• Prohibition on lifting of persons;
• Handling of loads, the nature of which could lead to dangerous situations (e.g. molten metal, acids, radiating materials,
