A washdown or shatter-resistant construction does not establish hazardous-location or food-contact suitability; verify each requirement separately. Ask for authenticated documentation showing boundaries, group and minimum ignition temperature; do not classify from a photograph or area name.

Lighting selected for dust, washdown and production visibility
grain and sugar handling, mixing, fermentation, packaging and sanitation areas can place classified and non-classified spaces only metres apart. The process and its classification documentation determine the fixture; the industry label does not.
A washdown or shatter-resistant construction does not establish hazardous-location or food-contact suitability; verify each requirement separately. For each catalogue number, verify dust or gas classification, sanitation chemicals, ingress protection, lens material and maintained illuminance, 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.

Recommended Products for This Industry
Why LEDEX for Food & Beverage 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 dust or gas classification, sanitation chemicals, ingress protection, lens material and maintained illuminance are recorded before quotation.
