The PIXA Z0 was designed to meet the needs of maintenance
and industrial professionals working in potentially explosive
environments . It has the following certifications : ATEX area 0
( II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 ) , HAZLOC ( Class I Div 1 A , B , C , D T4 ) ,
and IECEx ( Gas : Ex ia IIC T4 Ga ) . Durable , waterproof ,
and resistant to certain chemicals , it is ideal for intensive
and demanding professional use .
If an explosion hazard is identified in an environment , the hazardous areas are classified as areas at risk , depending on the prevalence
and type of combustible , gas or dust . All of the materials used in these zones must conform with current regulations for this type of zone
( ATEX and / or HAZLOC ) .
