Replace the existing OLE gauge, which was incorrectly labelled as being suitable for zone 2, with a new Ex certified version which is suitable for use in zone 2. Relocate 22 OLE gauge control/display units, which were incorrectly labelled as being suitable for zone 2, to a safe zone. Change the gauge control/display unit face label so it no longer says that it’s suitable for installation in zone 2 – NB. This is only possible if the unit is already located in a safe zone.
