ATEX137 compliant
27 January 2014
GNB Industrial Power, a supplier of industrial batteries and chargers, has successfully certified its service management, engineers and product support team who can now perform the necessary work on explosion-protected batteries according to the Workplace Directive 1999/92/EC, also known as ATEX 137.
Workplace Directive 1999/92/EC or ATEX 137 refers to the minimum requirements for improving the health and safety protection of workers who are potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres. GNB Industrial Power says that its ATEX 137 certified engineers are an asset to customers who depend on ATEX certified Materials Handling Equipment (MHE) – such as fork lifts and industrial trucks – to keep their business running.
The certification ensures that GNB Service Engineers are now trained and equipped to carry out work on batteries at customers’ premises affording them a greater degree of convenience.
