Part 1 set out why ATEX should be treated as the foundation of a broader compliance system, not a product checkbox. Part 2 looks at where that system breaks down, and what it takes to make it work. The Gap Between Certification and Operation One of the most common failures in hazardous area compliance is not a bad certificate, but rather a good certificate applied badly.

When work takes people into areas where a single spark can be catastrophic, the tools they carry must do more than function reliably.

A well-considered selection of ATEX-certified mobile devices can form exactly that kind of ecosystem — one that addresses worker safety comprehensively, without requiring a proprietary end-to-end system.

TER Tecno Elettrica Ravasi’s FOX, TOP and 7551-7552 limit switch series are now available with ATEX certification, ensuring maximum reliability and safety even in potentially explosive atmospheres. In the industrial automation sector, control and safety devices play a crucial role, especially in environments classified as explosion-risk areas.

A cable glands ability to offer Ingress Protection against water and dust is only as good as its sealing washer. Most cable glands, if fitted without a washer or if the washer is damaged, offer only IP54 protection at best. In Hazardous Areas, where IP66/7 is often the required protection level, missing or damaged washers can cause serious issues.
