Intrinsically Safe Electronic Device Design and Certification

Certifying products for use in Hazardous environment

SKF Condition Monitoring Centre ( Livingston ) has the capability to design and manufacture Intrinsically Safe (Ex) instrumentation solutions specially designed for use in hazardous environments.

Certification can be a complex and often daunting process. Achieving the appropriate Ex certification in a cost effective and timely manner requires experience and know how.

The spectrum of requirements for explosive environments and regional variations in safety conformance regulations mean it can become a costly and frustrating experience. but with the right help you can avoid the pitfalls and reduce the learning curve!

CMC Livingston offers a range of services to help our customers through the certification process. This includes:

Consultancy - certifying your existing products for use in potentially explosive environments.
Bespoke Ex instrument design - to meet both design & production control requirements.
Hazardous area product feasibility - assessing whether certification can be achieved before you start.

If you have an existing product that you wish to certify for use in hazardous areas, or you are looking to develop a new product that needs to be intrinsically safe, then SKF are here to assist.

Benefit from our Experience

We have the knowledge and skills required to develop your product into an intrinsically safe one. SKF CMC Livingston has developed close working relationships with certifying bodies such as Sira, who we work with to ensure that your product certification process in a smooth one.

I-Safe Handheld Instrumentation and Computing Solutions

Where you have a requirement to create an intrinsically safe device, we have a range of existing I-Safe technology building blocks which we can combine with our knowledge and experience to satisfy various levels of hazardous area requirement (Zone 0, Class I, Div 2) and can cover different regional certification authority variations (CSA, Cenelec, FM).

We have specialist mechanical modules offering ruggedised enclosures moulded from petrochemical and solvent tolerant material and sealed to IP65 standards to protect against ingress:

If you need more information or would like to discuss your specific intrinsically safe instrumentation requirements we will be happy to assist.
