EUROLABoffers industry-leading experience and expertise to certify your equipment for use in hazardous locations. It helps you deliver safe and compliant equipment to market for use in hazardous locations.
Flammable dusts, flammable gases, mists or vapors can contribute to potentially explosive atmospheres in the workplace. Manufacturers and suppliers require their equipment to comply with local government, regulatory and international safety standards that can prove safe and suitable in hazardous locations.
The Hazardous Location Test verifies that a product does not present a risk of explosion when placed in a potentially explosive environment (hazardous location). The test is carried out by evaluating the protection method applied in the design of the device. The testing process involves exposing the device to a potentially explosive atmosphere and attempting to cause a critical failure of the device's protection system. If a device does not encounter a critical failure and meets all additional requirements set out in the applicable hazardous location standard, the device is considered suitable for use in the environment under test.
Examples of protection methods for products used in hazardous locations:
Our comprehensive accreditation group and international network of hazardous location testing laboratories are your source for hazardous location and explosive atmosphere compliance worldwide.
