Defining the basics – Hazardous Area Weighing Webinar

Defining the basics – Hazardous Area Weighing Webinar

Equipment and products operating in hazardous areas are required to meet stringent criteria. They must be 'protected' to avoid the possibility of them becoming a source of ignition. Weighing systems are often an integral part of a process within the hazardous area and therefore must have suitable protection.

Many industries face major challenges when defining a zone as hazardous and this can have major implications for your business operation should you fail to meet the required legislative standards.

METTLER TOLEDO invites you to access its free-to-view online webinar 'Hazardous Area Weighing – Basics'. This online presentation aims to educate and improve understanding of weighing in hazardous areas, covering a variety of topics across three modules:
