These load cells have been designed and manufactured as intrinsically safe apparatus, using the protection
concept “ia” and “ta” to meet the requirements of EN 60079-0:2018, EN 60079-11:2012, EN 60079-26:2015
and EN 60079-31:2014. They also meet the requirements of EN 60529:1991 for ingress protection for IP68
tested at 1 m depth during 100 hours. They are classified as Category 1, Group II (Non-Mining) equipment,
suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of gas in Zone 0, 1 and 2, dust in Zone 20, 21 and 22,
and with temperature class T4, T5 or T6 (see table below). The limit of their operation is given on the label
attached to the product. An example of this label is given below. For full details of the limits of their operation
refer to the ATEX certificate.
