What is an explosive atmosphere (hazardous area)?
There is a risk of explosion when six conditions are simultaneously met:
Classification of ATEX zones
ATEX zones are classified according to two parameters: - the types of combustibles that may be encountered (dust or gas) - the frequency or duration during which an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur.
How to select an ATEX headlamp?
The selection is made according to the type of environments in which the lamp will be used. Each of the environmental parameters determines which type of ATEX lamp is to be used.
Information on LED lighting
As a headlamp manufacturer concerned for the safety of its customers, Petzl has chosen to present information in its product instructions about the risks to the eyes associated with LED lighting. For this, the company uses the EN 62471: 2008 standard, photobiological safety of lamps and devices using lamps, though it is not mandatory. This standard classifies lamps according to risk groups.
Brightness or burn time
Brightness and burn time are two inextricably linked parameters of any headlamp, regardless of its lighting technology. For a given quantity of energy, increasing the brightness automatically decreases burn time, and vice versa.
