2.1 Selection of right equipment
You need to be sure that the equipment you intend to take into explosion hazardous area matches up
with the zone classification and other safety requirements related. At least the following points should
be notified prior to use:
2.1.1 Intended purpose of equipment
Please keep in mind what the actual application of equipment is. For example in case the equipment is
to be moved when connected to the supply it needs to be designed for that purpose. If the certification
is mentioning "portable" it means that the equipment is suitable and tested for portable use. If the
certification does not mention portable it means that the equipment shall not be moved when it is in
operation.
