While it may be customary by some recommended practices, neither classic IEC Zones, nor NEC Zones actually specify a time duration envelope. Careful reading of classic IEC Zones will find them defined in terms of "probability;" whereas, US Divisions and Zones are ultimately defined in terms of "possibility." Article 505 "force-fit" Zones into the classic Division model. While IEC Zone 0 would always be Division 1, IEC Zone 1 could be either Division 1 or Division 2. Even at the "bottom end" what may have been classified Zone 2 or Division 2 by one system may be "unclassified" by the other.
All that being said Class I, Division 2, Group D is most likely Zone 2, IIA – unless its Methyl Acetate, of course. (Side note: Simply calling it "Zone 2" automatically specifies that it is Class I, "Zone 2x" specifies Classes II & III)
