EX and ATEX approvals are certifications that indicate that a piece of equipment or system is safe for use in potentially explosive environments. These certifications are important in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining, where flammable or explosive materials are present. EX is a general term that stands for \"explosion-proof,\" while ATEX refers specifically to the European Union's (EU) regulatory framework for explosive atmospheres. The ATEX directive covers the design, manufacture, and testing of equipment and protective systems intended for use in explosive atmospheres. To receive an EX or ATEX approval, equipment must meet certain requirements and standards for safety and performance. These requirements can vary depending on the specific application and the classification of the hazardous environment.

Electric actuators are available in both quarter-turn and multi-turn designs. Whether you are looking for a cost-effective option, integrated intelligent controls, project-specific designs in either compact housing designs or actuator and gearbox combinations (for higher torques) we have a solution to meet your needs. European certified manufacturers Bernard Controls, Valpes, and Schischek produce high-quality actuators with torque outputs from 10Nm to in excess of 600,000Nm. With electric valve actuator models suitable for a safe area, ATEX zones and nuclear environments and for use in on/off, modulating / positioning and failsafe (both spring return and battery backup) operation. We can meet your requirements for ingress protection from IP65 to IP68, supply housings in all stainless steel and deliver specialist marine coatings with ACQPA certification for coastal and offshore installations. Many of the electric actuators are now also available with in-built intelligent operating control systems and with non-intrusive Bluetooth integration allowing the operator to connect, control and check the actuator via a phone or tablet.

Katko enclosed switch disconnectors, are robust and versatile load-break switches designed for industrial, commercial, and hazardous environments, with current ratings ranging from 16 A to 1600 A and compliance with IEC 60947-3. Housed in durable enclosures made from polycarbonate (IP66), ABS (IP65), aluminium (IP65, IK08–IK10), or stainless steel (IP66), these switches are suitable for a wide range of applications including machine isolation, food processing, outdoor installations, and explosive dust zones (ATEX Zone 22 certified models available). Key features include silver alloy contacts for high breaking capacity (up to 8 kA at 690 V AC), thermal operation from –40 °C to +80 °C, and 3- or 4-pole configurations. Stainless steel models are ideal for hygienic or corrosive environments, while polycarbonate and aluminium versions offer high UV, chemical, and impact resistance. Accessories such as handles, terminal covers, and auxiliary contacts further enhance adaptability, making these switches a reliable choice for demanding control and isolation needs.
