Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “Safety of Equipment for Working in Explosive Media” (TR CU 012/2011)
On 15 February 2013, the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On the Safety of Equipment intended for Operation in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres" (TR CU 012/2011) entered into force.
It is very important that the equipment used in a potentially explosive gas or dust environment does not present an explosion hazard. With TTR CU 012/2011 certification for your equipment, you have the official right to use it in potentially explosive atmospheres. We offer you a certification of your products according to TR CU 012/2011 at an optimal benefit and fair price.
These regulations apply to electronic equipment, ex-components and non-electrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Complex production plants consisting of a large number of ex-components, as well as elements of control and protection systems (signal lamps, limit switches, etc. ), sensors, measuring instruments and many other less complex devices and devices can be certified without any problems.
The presence of an ex-tag, which is an identification feature of equipment and ex-components for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, as well as an explosion protection device provided by the manufacturer and specified in technical documentation.
