Outdoor instrument protection specialist Intertec recently requalified all ATEX and IECEx explosion-proof heaters and controllers. These heaters are now suitable for use in extremely cold or hazardous environments, including those in the Arctic polar region. All Intertec ATEX and IECEx heaters and controllers are now certified as complying with the latest editions of the relevant parts of the IEC/EN 60079 safety standard for electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres. The materials, construction and performance of these products have been thoroughly tested by an independent third-party certification agency and verified against the most up-to-date criteria that is available. Representative samples of every ATEX and IECEx heater and controller currently manufactured by Intertec were tested under the auspices of Germany’s national metrology institute, the Physikalisch- Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), which is a notified body for ATEX and IECEx conformity assessment.
