 C: Canada                          S: United States

UL is the United States        CSA is Canada

 

b. Component certification (not applicable to lamps)

• Interpretation of EU standard certification mark:
• CE contains a variety of directives such as LVD, EMC, pressure equipment, elevators, machinery, explosion-proof, etc.;
• CE Marking can be marked by any instruction
• 2014/34/EU Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres （ ATEX ）

Note: The equipment used in Zone 2 can be self-declared.

 c. Interpretation of international standard certification mark:

IECEx is often used to convert to local certification and is rarely used alone. In most cases in Australia and South Africa, it can be used directly.

Note: IECEx does not accept self-declarations.

 

4. Authoritative explosion-proof certification body
