SCAIME ensures compliance with legal requirements for health and safety at work.

SCAIME has opted to obtain ATEX and IECEx certifications for its fibre-optic measurement solutions in order to meet the growing demand for monitoring structures in hazardous zones. These certifications enable the use of Bragg grating sensors in the presence of flammable liquids or combustible vapour, gas or dust.

Fibre-optic measurement is particularly well-suited to the hazardous environments in which our customers are under significant pressure to reduce dangers while deploying measurement technology:

  • Absence of electrical currents
  • Extremely low optical power which cannot cause ignition
  • Ability to locate the acquisition units remotely in a safe area, up to several kilometres away

With this certification, SCAIME ensures compliance with legal requirements for health and safety at work, thereby bringing the benefits of fibre-optic measurement technology to a wider spectrum of industrial applications.
