<blockquote>
<font size="-1">The US National Electrical Code (1999) and the Canadian
Electrical Code (1998) recognize the use of the Zone system of Hazardous
Location classification, as used in Europe and other parts of the world.
This provides the opportunity for electrical products designed for European
hazardous locations to gain acceptance in North America. Also, North
American companies now have a local, as well as an overseas market for
products specifically designed to offer <a

the <a href="#IEC Inc Safety">Ex-e</a> method of protection. For more
