What does that Ex marking actually say?

Type or paste the marking off a nameplate, certificate or datasheet. Each part is explained in plain English: the protection method, the gas or dust group, the temperature class, the protection level and which zones that points to. Nothing is uploaded; it all runs in your browser.

Read this first. This is a reference tool on a website. It reads the marking; it does not know your plant, your certificate or your installation. Equipment selection depends on the certificate, the area classification, the installation conditions and the standards that apply where you work. Check against those and have a competent person verify. If you install something because a website said so, that is on you, not on GBKL Services.
