ATEX and IECEx safety switches are designed for machine safety applications in hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dusts may be present. In these environments, safety devices must meet strict requirements to prevent ignition sources and ensure reliable protection for personnel and equipment. ATEX‑ and IECEx‑certified safety switches enable standards‑compliant machine safety even in the most demanding explosive atmospheres.
Our product range includes IDEM Safety ATEX and IECEx certified safety switches suitable for use in Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22, with selected models also approved for Zones 0 and 20. The portfolio covers a wide range of safety devices, including non‑contact safety switches, tongue interlock switches, emergency stop devices, rope pull safety switches, safety limit switches, and conveyor belt alignment switches. The devices are manufactured in robust die‑cast metal or corrosion‑resistant 316 stainless steel, providing high ingress protection ratings of IP67 and IP69K for harsh industrial and washdown environments.
ATEX and IECEx safety switches are typically supplied pre‑wired and are designed for easy integration with safety relays and safety controllers. They are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical and process industries, mining, food and pharmaceutical production, and offshore applications, where certified and reliable operation is essential. Our strong product expertise helps ensure that the correct safety switch solution is selected for each hazardous area application as part of a safe, reliable, and standards‑compliant machine safety system.
