Oil & Gas & Mining

Health and safety have the highest priority on oil platforms, in refineries and along pipelines, in mining areas or in petrochemical companies.

ATEX/IECEx:

Intrinsically safe and explosion-proof communication equipment

In the oil & gas, petrochemical and mining industries, as well as in a large number of companies in the manufacturing and processing industries, personnel have to deal with hazardous substances and extremely harsh working conditions. That’s why safety and occupational health are paramount.

Strict health and safety regulations are therefore applied to protect workers, equipment, residents and the environment. Equipment used in these environments cannot contain any ignition sources that could, for example, spark and cause an explosion. Electronic equipment, including communications equipment, must be intrinsically safe for use in these industries.

The standards for intrinsically safe radio equipment and accessories are defined in Europe by two ATEX directives (Appareils destinés à être utilisés en ATmosphères EXplosibles) and internationally in the IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission Ex) standard. HMF carries intrinsically safe TETRA handheld radios that comply with ATEX and IECEx certifications.

All radios are further MILSTD-810 C/D/E/F/G certified, meaning they are resistant to drops, thermal shock and vibration and are certified dust and waterproof to a IP67 rating per IEC standard 60529.
