Approval (or certification): Non-hazardous area (or safe area)
Somewhat euphemistic way to say the instrument is not suitable for use in hazardous areas :)
Ex-frei designates the absence of an explosive atmosphere.

@Heidi: Ex-frei refers to the atmosphere, while ex-proof refers to the instrument. An ex-proof instrument is protected so it can be used in an explosive atmosphere.

Certification: Ex-proof range
Ex = explosion.
Without further context, that's what I would suggest.
From the certifications ex-proof (explosion), dust ignition-proof etc.

Thank you, Klaus. I agree with your suggestion. But why would ex-proof be the opposite of ex-free?
