IECEx Certified Hazardous Area IoT
Deploying IoT sensors in LPG and industrial gas environments requires strict adherence to hazardous area standards. All Gasbot devices hold IECEx intrinsically safe certification — plus regional certifications for every market we operate in.
Certification Overview
Gasbot devices hold two distinct categories of certification: IECEx (hazardous area / intrinsic safety) and radio regulatory approvals (RCM, FCC, ENACOM, IFTEL). These are separate certification schemes with different purposes.
Hazardous Area Certification
IECEx — International Electrotechnical Commission Explosive
GlobalThe international standard for equipment used in explosive atmospheres. All Gasbot devices are IECEx certified for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas — the highest global standard for LPG and industrial gas environments.
Radio & Regulatory Approvals
These approvals relate to radio frequency spectrum compliance and market access. They are required for cellular IoT devices in each country of operation, and are entirely separate from IECEx hazardous area certification.
RCM / RSM — Regulatory Compliance Mark / Radio Spectrum Management
Australia & New ZealandAustralian and New Zealand regulatory compliance mark covering electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, and radio spectrum management requirements.
FCC — Federal Communications Commission
United StatesUnited States Federal Communications Commission certification for radio frequency devices — required for all cellular IoT devices sold or operated in the US market.
ENACOM — Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones
ArgentinaArgentine national communications regulator certification — required for all radio frequency devices operated in Argentina.
IFTEL — Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones
MexicoMexican Federal Telecommunications Institute certification — required for all radio frequency devices operated in Mexico.
Why Certification Matters in LPG Environments
LPG and industrial gas environments contain flammable vapours that can ignite if exposed to an ignition source — including electrical sparks from electronic devices. Intrinsically safe certification (IECEx) means the device has been independently tested and verified to be incapable of producing sufficient energy to ignite a flammable atmosphere, even in fault conditions. Deploying non-certified IoT devices in these environments is both a safety risk and a regulatory violation in most jurisdictions.
Zone 1 Certified
Suitable for areas where flammable gas is likely to be present during normal operation.
Zone 2 Certified
Suitable for areas where flammable gas is not normally present but may occur in abnormal conditions.
