Procurement Decision
Start with the certificate required by the site, then compare the exact terminal and accessory configurations. A general ATEX label alone is not enough to decide whether a package meets the project requirement.
To confirm before quote
- Match the site classification to the certificate for the exact supplied configuration.
- Confirm terminal, battery and audio-accessory coverage together.
- Record emergency-channel requirements and the acceptance test in the quotation.
