Marking of Mechanical Equipment
Certified Ex equipment has a marking plate that includes details about the equipment’s explosion protection and the area in which the equipment may be used. Can you interpret these codes?
The goal of IEC/ISO and ATEX Marking of Mechanical Equipment
Having completed this course, participants will have learned how mechanical equipment is Ex-marked, and what the different markings mean.
