Scame informs that it has recently acquired the new Ex II 2GD (Gas and Dust) certification for the ADVANCE GRP EX [2GD] and OPTIMA EX [2GD] series through the INERIS certification body. In this way, it covers the range of plugs and sockets from 16 to 125A suitable for classified areas 21/22 (Dust) and zones 01/02 (Gas).
ATEX equipment can be used in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.
Companies that work in areas with an explosive atmosphere must follow the directives to protect employees from explosion risks.
There are two types of ATEX directives (one for the manufacturer and one for the user of the equipment):
The ATEX 95 equipment directive 94/9/EC. It regulates equipment and protection systems whose intention is for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The ATEX 137 workplace directive 99/92/EC. It sets out the minimum requirements for improving the protection of the safety and health of workers exposed to risks arising from explosive atmospheres.
The regulations apply to all equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres, whether mechanical or electrical, including protection systems.
