Intrinsically Safe Solutions Receive Marine-Type Approvals

These unbiased, third-party agencies confirm that these products conform to the latest standards and specific specifications required for rugged marine environments and validate Pepperl+Fuchs’ commitment to quality and safety. The approvals are recognized and accepted globally, so that worldwide users can be confident that the products are certified safe.

“Intrinsic safety barriers are a core component of an intrinsically safe solution.  These devices limit current, voltage, and total energy delivered to a sensor or other instrument located in a hazardous area.  Limiting the energy prevents fires and explosions from occurring in areas with hazardous chemicals, gases, or other ignitable atmospheres,” says Robert Schosker, Product Manager.  “And having obtained marine approvals, we’re now able to provide complete intrinsic safety systems to meet the specific hazardous area safety needs in marine-type applications.”
