Summary:In the U.S., the Zone system only applies to Class I locations. There is no equivalent Zone for Class II or III locations. There are three Zone classifications: Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2. As shown in Table 1, the Zone and Division classification systems defined by the NEC are closely related. The table also includes the Zone system that is used internationally. As should be expected, the U.S. and IEC Zone systems are, on the surface, identical.
