In the IEC 60079-14 it uses Equipment Protection Levels (EPLs) these are *1/1
now used to relate the equipment to the Zone. If the equipment is marked
Ga where can it be used safely, except where the risk assessment states
otherwise?

Zones 0 and less onerous (hazardous) duties.

Zones 2 only.

Zones 1 and less onerous (hazardous) duties.

Zones 20, 21 and 22 only.

The following information appears on an item of certified equipment *1/1
label, IECEx BAS06.0014X. What does the suffix X at the end of this
mean?

The equipment must be installed in a non-hazardous Location.

The equipment was tested to a special impact protection.

Specific (special) conditions apply to the equipment, refer to documentation.

The equipment cannot be used outdoors location.

The European Union has created many directives over the years. What *1/1
has been one of the purposes of these directives, including ATEX
2014/34/EU (ATEX 95) is :-

To permit the import of lower cost products from China or USA.

To establish stronger Customs Boundaries between European Nations.

To improve the trade between European nations be removing technical barriers

to trade.

To allow different nations around the world to have a greater freedom to develop
their own laws & regulations.

8.

6.

12.

When looking at the T Class of explosion protected equipment. Which *1/1

statement best represents your understanding?

The maximum temperature an internal surface may reach when in contact with a
flammable gas.

The average temperature, measured at the hottest point on the equipment surface
that dust can come into contact with.

The maximum surface temperature reached by a relevant surface that can

come into contact with a surrounding flammable gas during normal or under
specified fault conditions.

The temperature the surface of the equipment will never go above under normal or
fault conditions.
If a hazardous area has a zone which is described as an area where a *1/1
flammable gas and air mixture is UNLIKELY to be present during normal
operation, but if it does occur, will persist for a short period only?

Zone 1.

Zone 22.

Zone 0.

Zone 2.

Ingress Protection is now an International standard called International *1/1

Protection. There are still two digits after the IP, what do the two digits
represent?

Dust layer levels and openings up to 1mm.

Dust partial size and water depth.

Solids and mechanical strength.

Solids and water.

If an area classification drawing indicated that an EPL Ga (Category 1G) *1/1
requirement for the equipment is required in a Zone 1 area, what could be
the reason?

A risk assessment has identified a lower than normal consequence of an ignition.

A risk assessment has identified a higher than normal consequence of an

ignition.

A risk assessment has identified a higher than normal risk of an ignition.

This is a drawing error.

A Special marking is used to show a Zone 0 location on a drawing. How *1/1

would this marking be recognised?

Symbols shown on the drawing key.

Slanted lines at 45 degrees.

Small circles.

Cross hatching 45 degrees.

Which one of the following marks denotes that the equipment has been *1/1
certified and is therefore achieving the ATEX equipment directive?

The letters FLP are inside the shape of a crown.

The letters CE are marked and follow with a category marking.

The letters Ex are inside the shape of a hexagon followed with a group and
category marking.

The letters IEC Ex are inside the shape of a hexagon then followed with the EPL
marking.

A Zone 0 location is described in the area classification as a place where *1/1

there is a mixture of a flammable gas and air which is?

Not present during normal operation.

Present continuously or for long periods or frequently.

Likely to be present in normal operation occasionally.

Not likely to be present in normal operation.

Various European directives define criteria for lots of subjects on safety. *1/1
The ATEX 2014/34/EU (ATEX 95) Directive is related to: -

The equipment design and it's use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

The application of a triangle sign at the entrance to a potentially explosive

atmosphere.

The improvement of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

The workers that are exposed to potentially explosive atmospheres and their health
and safety.

Which one of the following markings would represent an ability for the *1/1
equipment to operate in a greater than normal ambient temperature
environment safely?

Ex e II T6 40 degC amb.

Ex e II T4 T55.
