Loop Approvals/intrinsic safety system approvals!

Here is some more information on our Loop Approvals / Intrinsic Safety System Approvals!

An intrinsic safety loop / system, consisting of different interconnected intrinsically safe pieces of equipment, requires approval from an ATL (accredited test laboratory) in South Africa.

This is applicable whether the loop or system is used on a plant, on a mine machine etc.

MASC assists in guiding the client through the loop setup / generic documentation requirements.

MASC approves I.S. loops / systems, as required by regulations / South African codes of practice.

Understanding Marking & Classification in Hazardous Areas πŸ”Ž

When it comes to Ex equipment, every symbol, code, and mark on a product matters. These markings are not just technical details β€” they are the key to safety, compliance, and proper usage in hazardous environments.

At MASC, we provide comprehensive Marking and Classification Charts to help manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users understand exactly what each marking represents. From gas and dust groups to temperature classes, explosion protection techniques, and equipment categories β€” our charts make it clear, accessible, and reliable.

βœ… Why it matters:

Ensures correct equipment is used in the right hazardous zone.
Prevents costly mistakes and potential safety risks.
Helps with global compliance across ATEX and IECEx standards.
Assists end-users and inspectors in quickly identifying compliance.

With MASC, you get more than just testing and certification β€” you get the tools, guidance, and expertise to make sure your operations remain safe, compliant, and efficient.

Why become a Markscheme holder?

Samples may be tested on an ongoing basis to ensure product compliance with the standards. The Quality Management System must be established and adhered to, as this will ensure products that comply with original type certification.

Audits are conducted by trained and acknowledgeable auditors, some of whom are acknowledged IECEx, ATEX, ANZEx auditors.

The registration period covers a permit for a period of 3 year with regular surveillance audits. The Markscheme can be extended to include additional sites / permits or additional Ex techniques.
