EXHEAT | UKCA ATEX CERTIFIED – HAZARDOUS AREA ELECTRICAL HEATING

The intent of this communication is to provide customer confidence and certainty about the future security of specification compliance for clients of EXHEAT Industrial Ltd and their Preferred Distributor, Thorne & Derrick.

From 1 January 2022 any products placed on the market for use in Explosive Atmospheres, in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), must carry UKCA (UK Conformity Assessment) marking showing compliance to the new UKEx Scheme.

UKCA Conformity Assessment includes products that have previously required CE marking in compliance with the ATEX Directive.

The conformity assessment and pertinent technical requirements used to assess and cover the compliance for UKCA markings are largely the same as they have been for CE marking to ATEX – consequently our manufacturing supply chain have been challenged with satisfying the requirements for UKCA conformity assessment to demonstrate and secure UKCA marking.

EXHEAT Industrial Ltd, the market leader in the manufacture of electric heating and controls for explosive atmospheres, are committed to establishing leadership on the legislative compliance of their products according to the requirements of UKCA.

EXHEAT Industrial Ltd have strategically devoted considerable resources in a concerted effort to ensure product compliance with UKCA Notified Body Approval to add to the already existing ATEX and IECEx certified products, making them triple certified – this will include their market-leading product ranges of: Air Warmers, Immersion Heaters, Temperature Controls & Thermostats, Water Heaters, Line Heaters and Fan Heaters.

MFH Portable Fan Heater is the world’s first portable hazardous area fan heater. The EXHEAT Bulldog® combines efficient design with simple functionality to provide a portable heating solution for use in hazardous environments where the atmosphere is classified as Zone 1/2 (IIB+H2) or Zone 21/22 (IIIC).

Contact Thorne & Derrick to discuss your Electrical Heating, Lighting, Ventilation or Power requirements for safe and reliable use in hazardous areas and explosive atmospheres in accordance and compliance with UKCA certification requirements and ATEX/IECEx.
