I need help with deciphering two-way radio intrinsically safe codes

I really need some help



The issue I am struggling with is the different codes from different electrical manufacturer assosciations. This has made defining suitable two-way radio models rather difficult as there is no information that I have come across that parallels IP, NEMA, MIL-SPEC, and NEC codes.



Perhaps you or your resource pool of infinite knowledge could suggest some guidance.



I need two units with a Class II, Division I, Group G rating for Confined Space Entry. Other units need to be a Class II, Division II, Group G rating for general Plant Communications.



All manufacturers seem to be supplying an IP 55 or IP 56 code that I cannot provide documentation to prove to compliance with the NEC codes sent from head office.



I appreciate any response you may have,



Thank You
