TRaC offers a free 2 hour pre-application meeting to hazardous area clients to discuss the design of equipment, test standards and compliance routes. We also offer paid for technical advice sessions at client's premises.
The design of hazardous area equipment can appear to be complex and it is true that in many situations compromises in functionality are required. However, if a few basic rules are followed then your design options can be better than you might expect.
At TRaC, we aim to help you understand the key aspects of the standards used for compliance. You can then optimise your design. In addition to the design considerations, the application and certification processes are often new to manufacturers and designers. We explain the routes applicable to your product.
