The plastic instrument case may develop cracks near the screws on the back during the life of the product. If cracks develop, and if used in an explosive dust environment (IEC/EU: Zone 21, and US/CA: Class II, Division 1), ingress of conductive dust may cause a short circuit that could ignite a dust explosive atmosphere surrounding the unit, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

I guess it depends where he uses the multimeter or if he cares that the plastic may crack..

In September I can register as master installation electrician then I will sign of Installations in Ex arias

I have been looking there are 2 models of 28ii Ex
The one is the ELT certified US standard ( this looks like the one has got the bargrath  )
Then there is a ATEX certified european standard the one I have ( it has not got the bargrath )
