TRaC achieves IECEx qualification

Manufacturers of equipment designed for operation in hazardous areas and explosive atmospheres can simplify the process of marketing their products internationally, using the services of test house TRaC, which is now qualified under the IECEx System.

History of TRaC

In its present form, TRaC is a young company. But it stems from testing, validation and certification going back almost 61 years. TRaC is proud of that heritage and of the many milestones en route to today's leading position.
