Cost guides. Protection method explainers. Zone classification. Material comparisons. Compliance checklists. Written for design engineers, specifiers and procurement teams, no paywalls, no forms.
Ranked by Google clicks and on-page engagement. If you're specifying an enclosure for the first time, start here.
IP66, IP67, IP68 explained clearly, what each rating protects against and which you need for your environment.
How intrinsic safety limits the energy available to ignite an explosive atmosphere, and when it applies.
The combined protection method that uses flameproof (db) and increased safety (eb) in a single enclosure assembly.
Ex eb prevents sparks and hot surfaces under normal and abnormal conditions, the most common protection method for terminal boxes.
A plain-English overview: what ATEX is, why it exists, who needs it, and how certified enclosures are specified.
Ex e, Ex d, Ex ia, Ex p, Ex n, Ex tb, the full set of protection concepts, with application guidance for each.
Zone 0, 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, how each is defined, who classifies them, and what enclosure marking is required in each.
How Ex nR uses a sealed IP66 enclosure to exclude hazardous atmospheres in Zone 2, and how indEx self-certifies for it.
The certification process: notified body testing, EC-type examination, documentation, and ongoing surveillance.
Compliance obligations for equipment manufacturers and installation contractors under ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
A practical checklist for specifying engineers and safety managers: documentation, marking, installation verification.

Every enclosure ships with its Declaration of Conformity and certificate. Current certificate numbers are listed below, click to download the PDF.
Don't take our word for it. These links open our current Certificates of Conformity in the official IECEx Online Certificate System — the live register, always up to date.
Verify any certificate at iecex-certs.com — search "indEx Enclosures". ATEX and ISO 9001 documents are available to download above.
Our engineering desk is faster than a search. Send a spec, a drawing, or just the application, we'll come back with a recommendation, not a brochure.
