Hazardous-location approval, cleanroom suitability and GMP controls are three separate project requirements; a product can meet one without meeting the others. Ask for authenticated documentation showing boundaries, group and minimum ignition temperature; do not classify from a photograph or area name.
Lighting for classified and controlled pharmaceutical spaces
Hazardous-location and industrial lighting selected for the exact pharmaceutical process
Lighting for classified and controlled pharmaceutical spaces
solvent dispensing, coating, powder handling, production suites and utility rooms can place classified and non-classified spaces only metres apart. The process and its classification documentation determine the fixture; the industry label does not.
Hazardous-location approval, cleanroom suitability and GMP controls are three separate project requirements; a product can meet one without meeting the others. For each catalogue number, verify hazardous-location marking, cleanability, materials, optical performance and maintenance controls, 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

API Manufacturing 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.
Formulation & Compounding
Formulation & Compounding 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.
Packaging & Labeling
Packaging & Labeling 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.
Solvent Recovery
Solvent Recovery 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 Pharmaceutical Manufacturing?
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 hazardous-location marking, cleanability, materials, optical performance and maintenance controls are recorded before quotation.
