This document does not apply to: • equipment that is electrically connected to fixed equipment or fixed wiring during use in the hazardous area, for example a lead light connected to the premises wiring system by a plug and socket, • portable or personal equipment with a certificate for use in a hazardous area, • transportable equipment, • portable or personal equipment used in Group I applications, • battery powered tools, such as drills and saws, • portable or personal equipment used in areas requiring EPL Ga or Da equipment, or, • medical devices. This document does not address other considerations involving the use of portable or personal electronic equipment for other aspects of safety, for example, creation of a distraction from important work tasks, radio frequency interference with measurement and control equipment, or medical issues. This document supplements the guidance in IEC 60079-14 regarding the use of personal or portable equipment without a certificate for use in hazardous areas.
