    The INMETRO Certificate is DNV 13.0126 X, with marking code Ex ia I Ma / Ex ia IIC T4 Ga, -40°C ≤ Ta ≤ +60°C. The GasBadge Pro is marked with the symbol “Exia,” which is used by the Canadian Standards Association to designate the instrument as INTRINSICALLY SAFE. Note that the intrinsic safety is not certified by CSA when this instrument is used in atmospheres containing oxygen concentrations above 21%.
