R&D: Explosion protection
SEITZ has been manufacturing solenoids for application in potentially explosive areas since 1959.
The first solenoids were designed in special protection "s" in accordance with Swiss and German national standards. Later, solenoids were also developed in other types of protection in accordance with European regulations. Today there are designs in "flameproof enclosure", "increased safety", "intrinsic safety" and "encapsulation".
It goes without saying that Quality Assurance requirements have constantly been adapted to current standards. This enabled us to obtain Production Quality Assessment Notification pursuant to Annex IV of Directive 94/9/EC of the PTB in 1998.
Our competence in the field of explosion protection is currently demonstrated by the fact that large, well-known companies adopt SEITZ products and market them under their own names.
Membership of the "Swiss Electrotechnical Committee for electrical equipment in potentially explosive areas" (TK31) for almost 20 years ensures that our expertise is constantly being updated. SEITZ customers also benefit from this specialised knowledge through the special training courses held for them.
