ATEX Identification

For a pumping unit (pump, seal, coupling, motor and pump accessories) to be certified for use in an ATEX classified
environment, the proper ATEX identification must be present. The ATEX tag will be secured to the pump or the
baseplate on which it is mounted. A typical tag will look like this:

II 2 G/D X

The CE and the Ex designate the ATEX compliance. The code directly below these symbols reads as follows:

II ------------

 Group 2

2 -------------

 Category 2

G/D ------------

 Gas and Dust present

X ------------ Temperature class, can be T1 to T6 (see following table)
