Yes, if it meets the codes for the country where it is installed, if the additional wiring conditions are met (rigid conduit, seal offs).

Not in Europe.

Why would one want electrical equipment where a potentially explosive atmosphere is present under normal conditions more or less continuously? Surely the objective is to keep electricity out of Zone 0?
