‘Atex Certification’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Vistagy composite engineering for Bombardier from
Vistagy, which we summarised at the time by saying "Vistagy has been selected by Bombardier Aerospace to provide the FiberSIM software suite as the standard composite engineering solution for all aircraft programmes at Bombardier. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Eriez magnets/detectors installed in cement plant from
Eriez Magnetics Europe: "Eriez Europe has launched Atex-rated Permanent Suspended Magnets and Metalarm Metal Detectors, suitable for operation in some explosion risk or hazardous environments. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from SGS SA - Industrial Services
- take a look at SGS sponsors talk on Russian petrochemicals
which says: "SGS has announced it will sponsor the annual roundtable entitled 'Refining and Petrochemicals in Russia and CIS Countries', which will take place in Amsterdam from 1 - 3 December 2009. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Ion Science, TVOC monitor can be installed without barriers,
as well as Proctor releases updated machinery directive guide from Procter Machine Guarding,
and Wirelesshart switch enables level detection from Emerson Process Management.
