Hydrogen and explosive-atmosphere approval distinction

Huba reports EC79/2009 hydrogen vehicle type approval and ISO 16750 vehicle environment testing. EC79 approval is not ATEX or IECEx hazardous-area certification. No blanket Zone 0/1/2 installation approval is asserted. Check actual order code, gas compatibility, pressure rating and relevant hazardous-area certificate before deployment.
