ATEX safety mat

Our GSTSPATEX mats are “simple apparatuses” intended for use in intrinsically safe systems, according to what set by the EN 60079-11:2012, art. 5.7 a standard. The electrical circuits of such apparatuses are incapable of causing an explosion in the surrounding explosive atmospheres, therefore they do not fall into the application field of the European Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX) (EN 60079-11:2012, Art. 5.7). The temperature class T6 [IEC-EN 60079-11 – Simple Apparatus Form] has been assigned to the internal contacts of these mats. They can be introduced into intrinsically safe systems with “ia” protection level, for substances of groups IIA, IIB and IIC (gas or flammable vapours) and/or of groups IIIA, IIB and IIC (combustible dusts).
