ATEX compliance certifies that Magnetek wireless controls are safe for use in potentially explosive areas with flammable gases or vapours.
Elsewhere, IECEx equipment certification means Magnetek’s wireless controls conform to international safety standards for environments where a potential exists for explosions.
"End user acceptance of the stringent ATEX and IECEx standards is typical in North America and worldwide. So these certifications should have a positive impact on our radio control business in North America as well as globally," added Stoller.
