Hazardous Location Equipment Markings: A Guide to Global Compliance

For manufacturers of equipment designed for use in hazardous locations, the compliance journey can be complex and confusing. Products certified for explosive atmospheres must ensure the correct markings are applied; these can differ vastly depending on the end product’s use, the countries it will be sold in, and much more.

In ‘Hazardous Location Equipment Markings: A Guide to Global Compliance ’, Element’s hazardous location expert, Andy Smith, explores the topic of global hazardous location compliance, the differences between global certification schemes, and how to access the global explosive atmosphere market.

Complex global regulations

Developing products for use in potentially hazardous locations is complex, with different countries and regions having variations of both mandatory and non-mandatory legislation. A lack of clear regulatory understanding and planning can lead to longer development times and costly redesigns or testing if it isn’t designed for global compliance.

Navigating market access

It’s crucial manufacturers are clear on their products intended end markets and the use cases their product is designed for.

Time consuming process

A product’s compliance journey can be a time consuming and challenging process, with many hurdles and variations to compliance. It’s crucial that manufacturers understand their routes to market to reduce the risk of costly delays or redesigns.
