Peli Torches - ATEX Certification & Hazardous Areas
To meet the exacting requirements of ATEX directive 94/9/EC, Peli Torches are tested to ensure that they pose no threat of ignition when operating within hazardous area locations. Using approved laboratories, Peli Torches are tested to ensure that they will withstand rigorous impact and drop tests, severe environmental exposure and meet a minimum of IP54 solid and liquid particles ingress protection. Longevity and safety are assured by Peli design. Each Peli Torch certified by ATEX should have a code printed on the torch body. This ATEX code advises the user as to the hazardous area in which the Peli Torch can be safely used without risk of explosion. The hazardous area (T) Temperature ratings are as follows for Peli Torches and general ATEX electrical equipment : T1=450ºC T2=300ºC T3=200ºC T4=135ºC T5=100ºC T6=85ºC.
