Requirements

What this sector demands of the machine

Written to what an engineer in this industry actually has to solve, not to a list of sector benefits.

Zone and gas group must match exactly

A IIB-certified machine cannot be installed in a IIC area. The certificate, not the datasheet, is the governing document.

Offshore and coastal corrosion

Marine climatic version with a coating system specified against the actual exposure, including splash zone and salt mist.

Long lead times against short shutdowns

Turnaround windows are fixed years in advance. A replacement that arrives late costs more than the machine.

Documentation for the dossier

The certificate, declaration of conformity and test report have to arrive with the machine and survive audit.

Regulatory note
Area classification is carried out by the operator. Electromash supplies equipment certified for a stated zone, group and temperature class; suitability for a specific installation must be confirmed by the responsible engineer.
