Sometimes, installing a fan requires special attention in terms of safety and functionality. The solutions we have developed are suitable for different requirements and cases and comply with EC directives.
MZ Aspiratori has had its spark-resistant fans inspected by TÜV Italia srl, which, after carrying out the appropriate checks, has issued a Product Certificate. MZ Aspiratori can therefore supply these fans with both the usual Atex certificates, and also a Statement of conformity issued by TÜV Italia srl, acting as an external Certification body.
Atex certified fans are designed and built for use in zones classified as 1/21 and 2/22, and they are suitable for handling inflammable and combustible substances, in compliance with the provisions of the ATEX Directive 2014/34/UE.
