Safety Considerations
If substances that adversely affect these materials are present in the
surrounding environment, consult Thermo Fisher Scientific for further
guidance.
Regulatory
compliance
Antaris EX-Z1 and Antaris EX-Z2 analyzers are designed for North
American or European (depending on the model ordered) use with
220 VAC electrical service, in hazardous areas where the hazardous area is
non-mining, above ground, and the hazard is caused by flammable gases or
vapors. These models are suitable for hose-washing.
Antaris EX-IP analyzers were designed as a hose-washable, solid-state-air-
cooled, near-IR instrument for use with USA and European 110 VAC or
220 VAC electrical services, as follows. No hazardous location protection is
provided.
The
Declaration of Conformity
that came with your instrument, instrument
labeling, and the specifications for your analyzer model later in this manual
contain specific information about conformity with particular directives
and standards. The regulatory organizations are described here.
CE (Conformité Européenne) —
The CE mark indicates compliance with
the European Union's applicable New Approach Directives. The CE mark
is a self declaration and self marking process. After a manufacturer has
proven that the particular equipment meets CE requirements and has
collected supporting data, that equipment may display the CE mark. For
equipment in Zone 1 hazardous locations, the CE mark is tested and
certified by a notified body located within the European Union.
ETL (ETL SEMKO, a division of Intertek Testing Services) —
ETL
SEMKO is an OSHA accredited Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL), a Standards Council of Canada (SCC) accredited
Testing Organization and Certification Organization, an IECEE accredited
National Certification Body, and a Notified Body for Europe that provides
testing and certification services for the products. The ETL symbol
indicates that the instrument has been inspected and approved by an
independent testing laboratory.
