Hazardous Location Certifications
Examining Pelco ExSite™
The Pelco ExSite Series Explosionproof Pan/Tilt system
is designed for installation in areas classified as
Hazardous Locations. These sites are characterized as
having explosion risks associated with the presence of
combustible gases, dusts and fibers or flyings. In most
cases, areas that meet the criteria of a Hazardous Location
have been classified as such by health and safety agencies
that have jurisdiction over the welfare of workers and
civilians in the immediate area of the risk.
Products designed for use in Hazardous Locations can only
be certified through third-party testing. Strict conformance
to production and manufacturing standards, including
periodic audits is also required. National differences
require certification to be allowed unencumbered entry
into jurisdictions not specifically covered under the
general standards.
No single certification guarantees conformance in all
jurisdictions. Generally, however, jurisdictions fall into
two categories of certification: the North American
standard, as outlined by the NEC (National Electric Code),
and the European standard, as outlined by the ATEX New
Directive (94/9/EC). In both cases, standards are defined
using International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) test
procedures. Zone classifications that are now a part of the
two standards are specifically included to address IECEx
conformance. It is the display of certification markings on
both product and package that guarantees conformance to
governing bodies.

ExSite Product Manufacturer’s Label
The Pelco ExSite Product Manufacturer’s Label appears on
every ExSite product and is a requirement for compliance
for explosionproof equipment. It must be affixed in such
manner that it is permanent. In the case of the ExSite
product, it is a stamped metal label, attached with rivets.
Sections 1 & 2
It is a requirement of Ex (Explosionproof) equipment to
have an assertion of the potential risks associated with
the equipment, the location and the installation for those
who might install, service or repair the equipment. Where
national differences dictate, the assertion may require
listing in the local language.
Section 3
IECEx certification requires all Ex products to carry
manufacturer information on the label that conveys the origin
of the product.
Type 4X Enclosure
NEMA is a non-hazardous enclosure classification that
indicates the degree of protection offered against specific
environmental conditions. The 4 indicates protection from
incidental contact with the enclosed equipment; falling
dirt; falling liquids and light splashing; dust, lint, fibers,
and flyings (non-hazardous); hose down and splashing
water. The X indicates protection against corrosive agents
(prolonged exposure to salt spray). NEMA certification does
not require third-party validation.
Section 4
This portion of the label identifies the product’s compliance
markings and actual certification numbers for North
American, European and national differences for the
product. The information in this section is also displayed
in the Product Specification Sheet.

These first two lines appear only on the Product
Specification Sheet as a reference to the UL/cUL mark that
appears on the product label.
UL/cUL Listed
The UL Mark on a product means that Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) has tested and evaluated representative
samples of that product for electrical shock and fire hazards,
and has determined that they meet UL’s requirements
according to the National Electric Code (NEC) guidelines.
UL/cUL Hazardous Locations Listed per
NEC Division and Zone Requirement
The NEC relates Hazardous Locations to electrical
equipment due to the fact that electrical equipment can
become a source of ignition in areas where fire or explosion
hazards may exist due to flammable gases or vapors,
flammable liquids, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers or
flyings. Division requirements relate to the conditions where
the equipment will be installed, whereas Zone requirements
relate to the type of protection used in the construction of
the equipment. Each is a slightly different means to classify
for type locations.

ExSite™ – White Paper
North American Compliance
Class I – refers to hazardous locations in which
flammable gases or vapors may be present in the air in
sufficient quantities to be explosive or ignitable. Class I
compliance automatically assumes a level of Class II
and Class III compliance.
Although not specifically listed, there are two Divisions
relating to hazardous locations.
• Division 1 – refers to locations where the hazardous
condition can exist most or all of the time. ExSite is
classified to Division 1 standards.
• Division 2 – refers to locations where the hazardous
condition is not likely to exist under normal operating
conditions. In every case, meeting the Division 1
requirement automatically includes Division 2 compliance.
Groups A, B, C & D – refers to the gas groups to
which the product is compliant. A indicates acetylene
and B indicates hydrogen. These gases are the most
explosive and also least common. Conformance to groups
A and B automatically assures compliance to the more
common group C and D gases (where C stands for ethylene
and D for propane). There are no other designations for
flammable gases.
Class II – refers to locations made hazardous by the
presence of combustible dusts.
Groups E, F, G – refers to the groups of dusts, by type,
to which the product is compliant. E refers to metal dusts,
F refers to coal dusts, and G refers to grain dusts. There
are no other designations, other than temperature
classifications for combustible dusts.
T5 – refers to the allowable maximum surface temperature
for the product. For T5 product compliance, surface
temperature cannot exceed 100˚ºC. This classification
has to do with the various ignition temperatures of
hazardous substances. The following chart shows the
maximum allowable surface temperature for each
temperature classification.

Temperature Classifications
Zone Classification for North America
per IECEx Standards
Class I, Zone 1, AEx d IIC
Class I – same as Class I, previous.
Zone 1 – refers to areas where ignitable concentrations
of gases, vapors or liquids are likely to exist under normal
operating conditions.
AEx – “A” refers to the American National Standard
(an “E” would indicate the European Standard) and “Ex”
indicates that the device is explosion protected.
d – refers to the type of protection method employed
for the product listed. The lower case d indicates a
“flameproof” method. Flameproof protection methods are
characterized by mechanical construction requirements
intended to contain an internal explosion of gases, and
allow the safe escape of resultant internal pressure
after quenching all flames, so that they do not ignite the
surrounding atmosphere.
IIC – IECEx reference to the gas groups allowed. IIC
reflects the same classification as the A and B (acetylene
and hydrogen) in the North American standard. It also
automatically assumes the lower classification groups IIB
(ethylene) and IIA (propane).
Ex d IIC, T5 – This is the IECEx compliance marking.
Ex – indicates an explosion protected device.
d – same as d, previous.
IIC – same as IIC, previous.
T5 – same as T5,, previous.
