We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "ATEX Certification",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Hydrogen monitors are intrinsically safe from
Quantitech, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Hy-Alerta 1600 hydrogen area monitor and Hy-Optima 1700 hydrogen process monitor are now available for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Pumps meet biofuel demands from
Michael Smith Engineers: "Michael Smith Engineers has a great deal of experience supplying pumps for biofuel producers".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Verderflex
concerning its Verder's S series pumps
- take a look at Pumps reduce total cost of ownership
which says: "The design of Verder's S series pump is simple and straight forward, with a clear separation of the mechanical and electrical components".
Take a look also at the news release from Crowcon Detection Instruments, Gas detector gains new certification,
as well as Tool post and product guide offered from Fluke (UK),
and Surge arrestor protects process field devices from Dehn (UK).
