Question:
How shall marking be shown for equipment covered by both the electrical and non-electrical
standards (IEC 60079 and ISO 80079 series)?
Answer:
Equipment which includes both an electrical part and a non-electrical part shall have
combined marking. For example:
Ex db h IIA T4 Gb
Ex h tb IIIC T135 °C Db
ICS 29.260.20
IEC 60079-0:2017-12/ISH2:2019-06(en-fr)

IEC 2019
It will be clearer for the user that the combined risk of the electrical part and the non-electrical
part, covered by a single certificate, has been assessed for the complete equipment, stating
one EPL, one equipment Group and one temperature class for Gas and the same for Dust
(but showing a maximum surface temperature instead of a temperature class). It is also noted
that Ex Components are not marked with either a temperature class (Group II) or a maximum
surface temperature (Group III).
For equipment where separate certificates have been prepared, with one for the electrical
parts, and one for the non-electrical parts, it is appropriate to have separate electrical and
non-electrical marking strings, each with its own associated certificate number.
NOTE Additional guidance on the marking of assemblies is given in IEC TS 60079-46.
