Your site's hazardous-area classification decides what you may use. This guide follows IEC 60079 / ATEX conventions to help you ask the right questions. It does not replace your area classification drawing or your safety officer's approval.

Common questions

Still unsure? Ask us: we reply within 24 hours.

Are your products ATEX certified?
Each ATEX product carries its own Ex marking and certificate. Every ATEX product ships with its Ex marking and certificate. We send both with your quotation so you can check them against your area classification before you order.
Which ATEX products do you make?
A 5G ATEX phone (with or without DMR radio), the DownAlert man-down alarm, three ATEX lights (headlamp, torch and micro torch), an ATEX industrial blower with antistatic duct, and the IronCladeX ATEX fall arrester block.
Can I use an ordinary light or blower in Zone 2?
No. Equipment used in any zone must be rated for that zone, gas group and temperature class. Our CE blower and work lights are not for explosive atmospheres. Use the ATEX versions.
What information do you need for a quote?
The zone (0, 1, 2 or 20, 21, 22), the gas or dust present, and the quantities. If you have your area classification drawing, send it by email after you submit the enquiry.
Do you supply for tenders and shutdowns?
