Explanation of approval for explosion protection within the equipment (centrifugal pump):
In practice, very rarely zone 0 (gas/vapor/mist) will be present inside the pump, but possibly
zone 2, sometimes also zone 1. These use cases are covered by the approval for zone 0.

safety device to protect against dry running - depending on the overall protection concept of

building block in addition to other independent safety devices - here too, depending on the
overall protection concept of the operator.
