- ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles) and IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres) certifications are standards for devices used in potentially explosive atmospheres. These certifications ensure that electronic devices, including smartphones and tablets, are safe for use in environments where there is a risk of explosive gases, vapors, or dust.
- ATEX and IECEx certified smartphones and tablets are commonly used in industries where explosive atmospheres may be present. Some of the industries include:
Chemical Processing
Industries involved in the production of chemicals and petrochemicals often have areas with potentially explosive atmospheres, making certified devices necessary.
Mining
Mines can have environments with combustible dust or gases, and certified devices are essential for communication and data handling in these settings.
Pharmaceuticals
Certain pharmaceutical manufacturing processes may involve flammable substances, requiring the use of certified devices to ensure safety.
Utilities
Power plants, both conventional and renewable, may haveareas where explosive atmospheres are a concern, especially in the presence of flammable gases.
Manufacturing
Various manufacturing processes, such as those involving paints, solvents, and other volatile materials, may require ATEX and IECEx certified devices.
Transportation
In the transportation industry, particularly in areas like fuel storage and distribution, certified devices are used to ensure safety.
Agriculture
Agricultural settings, such as grain storage facilities, can have conditions where dust explosions are a risk, necessitating the use of certified devices.
Defense and Military
Military operations may involve the use of explosive materials, and certified devices can be used in these environments.
Logistics and Warehousing
Environments involving the storage and handling of flammable materials, such as warehouses storing chemicals, may require certified devices.
