Hazloc Products with Class 1/Division 2 & ATEX Certifications
We carry a range of Winmate products that are Class 1/Div 2 and ATEX Zone 2 certified. These products offer high performance and reliability for heavy industry applications in oil and gas.
Hazardous Locations (Hazloc) refer to areas where electric systems may be operational and are subject to exceptional safety risks from flammable substances such as gases, liquids and dust. For certification, in the US, we follow NEC (National Electric Code), which puts Hazloc into classes, divisions, and groups, and for Europe, IEC Classifies Hazloc by zones.
NEC (National Electric Code) – According to OSHA, NEC defines hazardous locations as those areas where fire or explosion hazards may exist due to flammable gases or vapors, flammable liquids, combustible dust of ignitable fibers or filings. NEC classified hazardous locations in three ways; Type, Condition, and Nature.
IEC (International Electrochemical Commission) – IEC defines the flammable gases and vapors, and flammable dust. Each are assigned into three different zones and each zone then requires equipment built for category I,II or III
These Hazloc environments normally require any computer systems to be certified to Class 1/Division 2 (for US and Canada) and ATEX Zone 2 (for Europe) certification. These certifications factor the harsh environments faced by any systems operating there, and the potential risk to safety where flammable substances may be present, although there are higher levels and different Zone classifications specified.
A basic chart of certification for both classifications is shown here:
We carry a range of Winmate products that are Class 1/Div 2 and ATEX Zone 2 certified. These products offer high performance and reliability for heavy industry applications in oil and gas. Whether this be offshore on drilling rigs, at refinery plants back onshore, or servicing the end product to the consumer on petrol forecourts; our Class 1/ Division 2 & ATEX approved products cover the necessary performance and safety specifications to meet the demands of the oil and gas sector.
