How is the explosion protection defined?

ATEX marking II 2G EX de IIC T5

Equipment group I: mining; Equipment group II: other hazardous areas
Zone classification (e.g. G = Gas, D = Dust)
Zone 0: explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods or frequently
Zone 1: likely to occur periodically or occasionally in normal operation
Zone 2: not likely to occur in normal operation, if it does, it will exist for a short period only

The lower zones are with higher requirements

Zone 0 is matching Zone 1 + 2
