These are deviations for IEC requirements that maybe acce

It covers Groups I, II and III,and EPLs Ga, Gb, Gc, Da, Db, Dc, Ma and Mb.1.2 This standard contains requirements for optical radiation in the wavelength range from380 nm to 10 m. It covers the following ignition mechanisms:Optical radiation is a
