Listed below are chapters from a presentation presented
originally to the Houston chapter of IEEE in February 2004 on EX fundamentals
reviewing all topics related to EX, IEC electrical installations. Chapters
on the ATEX Directive, CE Marking, self-certification, cable gland installation
details and much more are broken down in topic areas for your review. If
you have specific questions on any of these topics or if you are in the South
Texas area, we would be happy to schedule a presentation at your firm to review
all or a portion of these topics.
We also appreciate any feedback that you may have as we always
strive to provide our clients with the latest information available on these
topics of interest.
