IntelliZone® is now CE and ATEX Certified!
As the need for safer, faster and more efficient underground powered haulage continues to grow around the world, Matrix is pleased to announce our award-winning IntelliZone® Proximity Detection system is now CE and ATEX certified.
CE (Conformité Européenne) indicates IntelliZone meets European Union (EU) health, safety and environmental protection requirements, allowing it to be sold freely within the European Economic Area (EEA). It signifies that IntelliZone complies with all relevant EU directives and harmonized standards.
ATEX, which stands for “ATmosphères EXplosibles,” is primarily a European standard designed to protect workers and equipment from the hazards of explosive atmospheres in the workplace.
In addition to these new ratings, IntelliZone is also certified by IECEx, MSHA and SANS 60079-0/1/11/18 and approved for underground coal in Australia, including Queensland (since 2018), which makes it available for use in most underground mines globally. It is also EMERST level 7 & 9 compliant.
