North American manufacturers are often not familiar with the acceptable industry regulations as they relate to hazardous locations, making it quite challenging for many to fully understand these standards in recent years.
By utilizing the IECEx and applying the national differences, North American manufactured products can become certified and accepted under the Code of Federal Regulations. But it’s important to understand how to effectively navigate the path to certification and the options you may face along the way.
In order to gain access to the North American market, it’s critical to fully understand these basic requirements and properly identify the difference in Class/Division versus Class/Zone paths for certification of products used within Hazardous Locations.
