TAIPEI, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Durabook today announced the availability of two rugged tablet models specifically designed for use in locations where gases, vapours, dust, and other substances create a significant risk of explosion. The new Durabook R8-EX and U11I-EX Windows 11 tablets are certified to meet the European Union's ATmosphères EXplosibles (ATEX) Zone 2/22 certification, meaning they can be used in environments where potential ignition sources include lightning strikes, stray currents, static electricity, open flames, and mechanically generated sparks.
- TAIPEI, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Durabook today announced the availability of two rugged tablet models specifically designed for use in locations where gases, vapours, dust, and other substances create a significant risk of explosion.
- ATEX certification is a top, often government-mandated requirement for businesses whose employees work in environments where there's a significant risk of explosion, such as oil/gas refineries and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
- The Durabook R8-EX and U11I-EX meet that requirement for ATEX Zone 2, where the explosive atmosphere is in the form of gas, vapour, or mist, as well as Zone 22, where the explosive materials are dust or fibres.
- Both models feature Coolfinity™ fanless cooling, which enables them to operate safely in hazardous industries where standard laptops and tablets cannot.
