The ATEX tag will be secured to the pump or the
baseplate on which it is mounted. A typical tag will look
like this:
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
T"x" = Temperature class, can be T1 to T6
