Free guide to flexible conduit for hazardous areas

Kopex International is publishing a free guide to cable management products (flexible conduit and accessories) for hazardous areas where gas vapours and dust may be present.

Free guide to flexible conduit for hazardous areas

The new guide provides a concise guide to current ATEX directives which require employers to provide protection from accidents owing to explosive atmospheres. Since 1 July 2006 it has been a legal requirement within Europe that both new and existing sites must be ATEX-compliant. The guide also provides information on the use of electrical equipment and cabling for areas having the potential for explosion. It sets out the requirements of various regulations with easy-to-use charts and data.

Kopex International says it is the only provider of a range of cable management products to carry certification under the IECEx Certified Equipment Programme. This provides a certificate of conformity that includes testing and assessment of product samples, manufacturing procedure assessments and on-going surveillance audits.

The company's hazardous area product ranges are outlined on the back of the guide. These include nylon conduit for EExe applications, Liquid Tight conduit and fittings for EExe and EExd applications, Index glands and stopping plugs for EExe applications, and conduit accessories for hazardous areas.

Copies of Hazardous Applications - Cable Management for Hazardous Areas are available from the company's marketing department by emailing [email protected], or visit www.kopex.co.uk/hazardous.
