Finder, the IECEx, ATEX, HazLoc Range

The Finder catalog includes devices designed for use in environments and applications that become hazardous due to the presence of explosive gases.

IECEx, ATEX, and HazLoc certified products are engineered for use in contexts and applications where the presence of explosive gases can create dangerous situations. In such atmospheres, the use of equipment (electrical and non-electrical) must comply with strict regulatory standards to ensure safety of installation and use in hazardous environments.
Examples of applications include service stations, chemical/pharmaceutical or petrochemical plants, gas-fired thermal power plants, refrigerated display cases, and ice-making machines, where safety is a priority for human health.

IECEx/ATEX/HazLoc: differences

IECEx
IECEx is a global standard to unify certifications and facilitate the international trade of equipment for hazardous and explosive areas, ensuring their safety and conformity.

ATEX
ATEX certified products are suitable for installations in the EU classified as "hazardous" due to combustible gases, vapors, mists, or dusts which, upon contact with air and ignition sources, can cause explosions.

HazLoc
This certification is a North American (United States and Canada) regulatory requirement for instruments and devices intended to operate in hazardous environments. In North America, areas are divided into Classes, Divisions, and Groups, which identify the type of explosive material, ignition conditions/risk, and substance name.
