CE 0081 The CE mark is the manufacturers commitment to fulfilling the relevant Directive. The number indicates the Notified Body responsible. 0081 is the number for LCIE. Ex The Ex mark is the European Commission mark for products approved for hazardous areas. II Motor grouping, II for surface industries. (I indicates approval for use in mines).
B C
2 Equipment category: 2 for Zone 21 or Zone 22 with conductive dust, 3 for Zone 22 without conductive dust. D Indicates that the marking relates to dust. A product certified for both gas and dust is marked G-D. T125 maximum surface temperature
ABB has, as the first manufacturer, introduced a CE marked range of Dust Ignition Proof motors for use in atmospheres where combustible dust poses a hazard. Approval has been granted by the European notified bodies LCIE (for cast iron models) and LOM (for aluminium models). European standards are recognised in all countries of the European Union and also in some countries outside it.

The ignition temperature for a cloud of dust must be at least 50% above the
motors marking temperature; or, put differently, the marking temperature must not exceed two-thirds of the ignition temperature of the dust. For instance, if the ignition temperature of the dust is 210C, the motors marking temperature must be lower than 140C.
The ignition temperature of a 5mm layer of dust must be 75C above the marking
temperature of the motor. For instance, if the ignition temperature is 200C, the marking temperature must be 125C or lower. It is the responsibility of the user to stage maintenance periods so that the dust layer does not build up above 5mm. The ignition temperatures for various types of dust are available from commonly available reference tables; see examples below.
