Sure-fire way to meet new regulations
October 1st 2006

Verlinde Technologies, is making sure its existing and prospective customers are fully compliant with new EU regulations relating to explosive atmospheres.

By 1 July 2006, installations running in explosive atmospheres must comply with European Directive 99/92/EC. All hoisting equipment on production sites will have to be ATEX-certified, or covered by a risk analysis, and the equipment concerned be brought into compliance.

Simon Rothechild, UK sales manager for Verlinde, said: "The Verlinde range makes us a one-stop-shop to ensure that your complete site is in compliance with these requirements relating to explosive environments.

"Being compliant is not only the law, from 1 July it also demonstrates best practice and illustrates a company's commitment to operating the optimum site safety regime."
