The Solid Body Elevator is designed and constructed for
use in the drilling industry on ships and platforms. The
Solid Body Elevator complies with the Machinery Directive
2006 / 42 / EC.
The Solid Body Elevator is approved for operation in
explosion hazard areas. For equipment containing any
hydraulic powered parts, the directive 2014 / 34 / EU
“Equipment and protective systems in potentially explosive
atmospheres” applies. The corresponding ATEX certificates
are present in the Data book.
The Classification according to CE
(with reference to the ATEX guideline) is as followed:
III 2G IIB T6, for manual tools
with
CE- marking (with reference to the ATEX guideline)
Marking of the equipment for the Ex- range
II Equipment Group (II)
2 Equipment Category
G For explosive mixtures of air and combustible gases,
mists or vapors (G)
IIB Categorie for Gases
T5 / T6 Temperature class
1.9 Equipment Markings
The markings are generally used for traceability and
provide general information about the component/
equipment. All markings are in compliance to the latest API
8C and at least include the following information:
General Markings according to API 8C
