INTRODUCTION
1 Scope
1.1 These requirements cover explosion-proof and dust-ignition-proof electrical equipment for
installation and use in hazardous (classified) locations, Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C, and D, and
Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, and G, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
1.2 These requirements also cover explosion-proof electrical equipment for installation and use in Class
I, Zone 1, Groups IIA, IIB, and IIC hazardous (classified) locations and dust-ignition-proof equipment for
use in Zone 20, 21, and 22 locations.
1.3 These requirements also cover explosion-proof electrical equipment that has been investigated for
use in one or more specific gas or vapor atmospheres with or without additional Class I Groups. See 60.6.
1.4 These requirements do not cover equipment for use in hazardous (classified) locations specifically
covered in a separate standard.
1.5 Deleted.
1.6 These requirements cover equipment for use under the following atmospheric conditions:
a) A minimum ambient temperature of minus 60°C (minus 76°F);

i i
b) An oxygen concentration not greater than 21 percent by volume; and
c) A nominal barometric pressure of one atmosphere.
1.7 Equipment covered by this standard shall also comply with the applicable requirements for similar
equipment for use in ordinary unclassified locations.
2 Components
2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a product covered by this Standard shall comply with the
requirements for that component.
2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specific requirement that:
a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the
product covered by this standard, or
b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard.
2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of
use.
2.4 Specific components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance

capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain
temperatures not exceeding specified limits, and shall be used only under those specific conditions.

4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be
interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard.
5 Enclosure Types
5.1 An enclosure that is intended for use in other environmental conditions shall also comply with the
applicable requirements for each enclosure type, for example Type 3, 4X, or 6, specified in the Standard
for Enclosures for Electrical Equipment, Environmental Considerations, UL 50E.
5.2 A Type 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, or 6P enclosure is not prohibited from being marked "Raintight" when no
water enters the enclosure or "Rainproof" when no water enters the enclosure at a point higher than the
lowest live part. Compliance with these requirements shall be determined by the applicable tests in the
Standard for Enclosures for Electrical Equipment, Environmental Considerations, UL 50E.
6 Class I, Zone and Group Equivalency
6.1 Class I, Zone 1, Group IIA
6.1.1 Explosion-proof electrical equipment intended to be marked in accordance with 60.4 shall comply
with all the requirements for explosion-proof electrical equipment for use in Class I, Group D hazardous
(classified) locations.
6.2 Class I, Zone 1, Group IIB
with all the requirements for explosion-proof electrical equipment for use in Class I, Group C hazardous
(classified) locations.
6.3 Class I, Zone 1, Group IIC
with all the requirements for explosion-proof electrical equipment for use in both Class I, Group A and
Class I, Group B hazardous (classified) locations.
6.4 Zone 20 and Zone 21
6.4.1 Dust-ignition-proof electrical equipment intended to be marked in accordance with 60.10 shall
comply with all the requirements for dust-ignition-proof electrical equipment for use in Class II, Division 1
hazardous (classified) locations.
7 Glossary
7.1 For the purpose of this Standard, the following definitions apply.

7.2 AXIAL JOINT SECTION – The portion of a flat, labyrinth, or rabbet joint that is parallel to the axis of
the parts forming the joint.
7.3 CEMENTED JOINT – A joint which relies upon a cement or other similar compound to prevent the
propagation of an explosion to a surrounding atmosphere by filling all voids between the mating parts
forming the NOT AUTHORIZED
joint, such that no flamepathFOR
exists. FURTHER REPRODUCTION
Intended for joints which are not disturbed OR
after assembly.
