Explosion Proof Exit Signs

Explosion Proof Exit Signs for Hazardous Locations

Explosion proof exit signs provide code-compliant egress marking in Zone 1, Zone 2, Class I Division 1, and Class I Division 2 locations where conventional exit signs cannot be safely installed. All units carry ATEX certification and comply with IEC 60079 explosion protection standards and NFPA 101 Life Safety Code requirements for emergency egress marking.

Key Specifications

Units feature LED illumination for long service life (50,000+ hours), stainless steel or GRP housings rated IP66 or higher, surface and ceiling mount options, and self-contained battery backup with 90-minute minimum runtime. Available in single-face and double-face configurations, with directional arrow options for corridor and junction installations.

Applications

• Oil refineries — exit marking in process buildings and pump houses
• Chemical plants — egress marking in solvent storage and mixing areas
• Offshore platforms — marine-rated units for wet, saltwater environments
• Paint spray booths — Class I Div 1 rated for continuous flammable vapor
• Grain elevators — dust-tight (IP6X) for combustible grain dust environments

Compliance

Explosion proof exit signs must comply with NFPA 101, NFPA 70 NEC Article 700 (emergency systems), and IEC 60598-2-22. 2M Technology provides full certification documentation and installation support. View our full explosion proof lighting range or request a project quote.
