Hi Alex, I have some USA experience with hazardous locations equipment and with ITE, and a little with that combination. If the location indoor/outdoor is such that concentrations of flammable gas mixtures are not expected to accumulate, then ordinary-use equipment (such as ITE) can be used. If hazardous concentrations are expected, then special enclosures must be used. Look at the typical gas/petrol station - most equipment there is ordinary-use. Outdoor equipment may require weather-resistant enclosures.
I hope this helps.
