Product Specifications
This freezer has been designed and built with the intention of the product being used within a laboratory
and is designed to store contents between -18 °C and -25°C (-0.4°F and -13°F).
Please see below for specific product information.
Flammable Material Storage Units (FMS):
Conventional freezers are not suitable for storing flammable materials. Such units have components in their electrical
and refrigeration systems that can trigger explosions of flammable air-vapor mixtures inside the unit.
FMS refrigerators/freezers are designed for use in locations which are not classified as hazardous by the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Under normal operating conditions, the build-up or presence of
flammable vapours will not occur in the environment outside the unit.
Flammable Materials Storage (FMS) refrigerators/freezers are designed for use in general laboratory locations.
FMS units are NOT designed for use in Class I, Zone 0, or Zone1 applications, which require an Explosion-Proof
Refrigerator/Freezer. FMS units are designed, evaluated and comply with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU Annex VIII.
These units have an intrinsically safe (IS) barrier installed in the temperature probe circuit with no other internal
electrical components that could trigger an explosion or fire of flammable materials inside the unit. The internal wall
construction has been reviewed and is not a source for electrostatic build up due to the materials used in
construction.
The units bear the following ATEX marking.
These units are ideal for storing ethyl ether, acetone, alcohol, benzene, butane, gasoline, hexane, lacquer solvent, and
naphtha along with many other potentially flammable materials.
Refrigerators, Freezers and Fridge Freezers for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, the internal refrigeration
chamber is classed as Zone 2, category 3 when the door is closed.
The external parts of the Freezer are classed as safe area and as such do not need to comply with requirements of
the directive.
