IEC 60079-0: Explosive Atmospheres – part 0: equipment – General requirements

IEC 60079-1: Explosive Atmospheres – part 1: equipment protection by flameproof enclosure “d”

IEC 60079-5: Explosive Atmospheres-Part 5: immersion in sand “q”

IEC 60079-6: Explosive atmospheres-Part 6: equipment protection by liquid immersion “o”

IEC 60079-7: Explosive Atmospheres – part 7: equipment protection by increased safety “e”

IEC 60079-11: Explosive Atmospheres – part 11: equipment protection by intrinsic safety “i”

IEC 60079-15: Explosive Atmospheres – part 15: equipment protection by type of protection “n”

IEC 60079-18: Explosive Atmospheres – part 18: equipment protection by encapsulation “m

The history of the LABEL with “Ex” equipment testing began in 2003. Since then, acquired technological support that has enabled the expansion of the scope of activity of the laboratory, based in trainings carried out by technicians of the team with the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). In the international arena still participates in various proficiency tests coordinated by the PTB that demonstrate your ability to work.
