UL is in the unique situation of being able to provide you with both European, North and South American certification for your Ex products. This will save you valuable time and keep the coordination to a minimum.

We have decades of experience in servicing clients in the following:

• Europe (Epsilon X Mark)
• USA (UL Mark)
• Canada (C-UL Mark)
• Brazil (INMETRO)

The determination that areas can be classified as hazardous locations is based on the following:

• the possible presence of an explosive atmosphere such as flammable gases, vapors, or liquids, combustible dusts or ignitable fibers & flyings;
• the likelihood that the explosive atmosphere is present when equipment is operating; and
• the ignition-related properties of the explosive atmosphere that is present.
  

This approach to classifying hazardous locations is used by different local authorities. The local authority will normally base the classifications on the local rules.

For additional information about certification of equipment for hazardous locations and all these rules, please, follow this link.
