CEC Rule 18-004 requires qualified persons to document and authenticate the classification before equipment is selected. Ask for authenticated documentation showing boundaries, group and minimum ignition temperature; do not classify from a photograph or area name.
Chemical-process lighting matched to the documented atmosphere
Model-specific lighting support for classified chemical-process areas
Chemical-process lighting matched to the documented atmosphere
reactors, transfer points, solvent handling, bulk storage and packaging lines can place classified and non-classified spaces only metres apart. The process and its classification documentation determine the fixture; the industry label does not.
CEC Rule 18-004 requires qualified persons to document and authenticate the classification before equipment is selected. For each catalogue number, verify the exact gas, vapour or dust group, ignition temperature, corrosion, washdown and ambient range, plus a certification mark from an accredited Canadian certification body and any special conditions.
LEDEX compares the project documentation against product markings and calculates a layout from the exact model's IES file. You receive a fixture schedule with the supporting product documentation your project professional and inspection authority will ask for.
Application Areas
Organic Chemical Processing
Organic Chemical Processing conditions vary by release source, ventilation and process. Use the authenticated classification and complete model marking to select lighting for this part of the facility.
Inorganic Chemical Processing
Inorganic Chemical Processing conditions vary by release source, ventilation and process. Use the authenticated classification and complete model marking to select lighting for this part of the facility.
Specialty Chemicals
Specialty Chemicals conditions vary by release source, ventilation and process. Use the authenticated classification and complete model marking to select lighting for this part of the facility.
Chemical Storage & Distribution
Chemical Storage & Distribution conditions vary by release source, ventilation and process. Use the authenticated classification and complete model marking to select lighting for this part of the facility.
Recommended Products for This Industry
Why LEDEX for Chemical Processing?
Classification-led selection
Candidate models are filtered by the documented Zone or Division, group, temperature and ambient range.
Model-specific records
We supply the certification record for the exact catalogue number and options, not a general family listing.
IES-based layout
The photometric model uses the project optics, mounting height and obstructions to predict fc/lux and uniformity.
Coordinated installation inputs
Mounting, wiring and the exact gas, vapour or dust group, ignition temperature, corrosion, washdown and ambient range are recorded before quotation.
