11.3.4 Temperature Classes

The maximum surface temperature for electrical components of explosion
protection group I is 150 °C (danger due to coal dust deposits) or 450 °C (if
there is no danger of coal dust deposit).
In line with the maximum surface temperature for all ignition protection types,
the electrical components are subdivided into temperature classes, as far as
electrical components of explosion protection group II are concerned. Here the
temperatures refer to a surrounding temperature of 40 °C for operation and
testing of the electrical components. The lowest ignition temperature of the
existing explosive atmosphere must be higher than the maximum surface
temperature.
