FAQs
What’s the difference between ATEX/IECEx and Class/Division?
ATEX/IECEx use Zones (1/2/21/22) for explosive atmospheres; Class/Division is the North American system using Classes and Divisions. We design to either framework.
Can you provide UL 508A labelled panels?
UL 508A-compliant designs.
If you are UL 508A Listed, panels can be built under your listing and carry the UL label; otherwise we coordinate NRTL/field evaluation for labelling.
Do you support validation for pharma?
Yes—URS alignment, DQ/IQ/OQ, FAT/SAT, and audit-ready technical files.
21 CFR Part 11 features are available via SCADA when required.
