Equipment and products operating in hazardous areas are required to meet stringent criteria. They must be ‘protected’ to avoid the possibility of them becoming a source of ignition. Weighing systems are often an integral part of a process within the hazardous area and therefore must have suitable protection
Many industries face major challenges when defining a zone as hazardous and this can have major implications for your business operation should you fail to meet the required legislative standards.
METTLER TOLEDO’s simple and easy-to-read poster provides a comprehensive introduction to hazardous-area classifications, types of protection and how this information is reflected in the labeling of electrical equipment for hazardous areas.
