Equipment group: Surface
Group I: Apparatus for coal mines susceptible to firedamp
Group II: Apparatus for explosive atmospheres other than mines, surface industries for gas
Group II is subdivided according to the severity of the environment IIA, IIB, IIC; IIC is the most demanding rating, a motor from one of the higher categories can also be used in a lower category environment

8
Flameproof: Ex d or Ex de
Increased safety: Ex e
Non-sparking: Ex nA

Equipment group: like in point 4
10
Subgroup of gas
A = Propane, B = Ethylene, C = Hydrogen, Acethylen
11
Temperature class
T1 = 450°C; T2 = 300°C; T3 = 200°C; T4 = 135°C; T5 = 100°C, T6 = 85°C
