‘Atex Certification’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Leuze switches offer distances up to 40mm from
Leuze Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "Leuze has expanded its range of high-quality inductive proximity switches, including models with switching distances of up to 40mm. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification from
Wilcoxon Research: "Wilcoxon Research has announced an additional intrinsically safe certification in accordance with IECEx requirements for six general-purpose accelerometers.".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Seaward Electronic
- take a look at Seaward publishes video demo of Powerplus tester
which says: "Seaward has produced a special training and demonstration film for its Powerplus 1557 multi-function electrical installation tester. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division, AC drives permit wider use of magnet motors,
as well as Loctite adhesives achieve safety certification from Henkel Loctite Adhesives,
and Michell introduces intrinsically safe transmitter from Michell Instruments.
