EX d and EX e armoured glands aren't a problem though they were a total PITA the first time
I get asked to change light fittings and install the odd socket in Zone 1 and 2 area's which are obviously EX certified so modules EX01 and EX02 should cover this type of work.
Another upcoming job is the installation of emergency stops, gate switches and a touch sensitive strip (safedge) in a Zone 1 area. For this I'll be installing a galvanic isolator (barrier) in the panel which resides in a safe area and running out to the equipment. I'll need modules EX03 and EX04 for this.
