Atex Rated & Intrinsically Safe Devices

ATEX is the name of a European directives created for controlling explosive atmospheres. ATEX Zone 1 or ATEX Zone 2 classified operations could be a chemical or petrochemical plant, where a heightened risk for explosion during the course of normal operations exists. Within a hazardous gas environment an explosion can take place if a flammable substance, oxygen and a source of ignition are found simultaneously in the local atmosphere.

To cater for potentially hazardous areas such as these you will need to employ specialist devices that are not capable of being a source of ignition. If there is a requirement for use of mobile technology or perhaps limit switches or other electrical devices you need to be certain that they cannot initiate a dangerous situation.
