*PRESS RELEASE*
Premiere at R. STAHL: For the first time, a leading manufacturer hosts the
world's most important standards development conference in explosion
protection
Waldenburg, 13 March 2019 - R. STAHL, leading supplier of products and
systems for explosion protection, is hosting this year's conference for the
development and adapting of international standards in explosion protection.
It is the first time that this event will be held at a manufacturer of
explosion protection solutions. The Technical Committee 31 (TC31) of the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) will meet from 25 March to 5
April 2019 in Waldenburg. At present, 40 nations from all over the world are
members of the TC 31. Close to 200 participants are expected at the
conference.
"The globally accepted IEC standards are a common basis for manufacturers of
electrical and non-electrical equipment to be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres and for operators of such equipment," says Dr. Mathias Hallmann,
Chief Executive Officer of R. STAHL. "For decades, we bring in our leading
position in explosion protection to further develop these standards for the
continuous improvement of the safety of people and the environment. We are
very pleased to welcome the world's leading experts in this field at our
headquarters in Waldenburg this year", Dr. Hallmann continues.
R. STAHL's extensive experience in the development and production of
state-of-the-art explosion-proof products helps to ensure that new standards
remain practical and technically easy to implement, and that test procedures
are designed to be safe and efficient. At this year's conference, the
company will be represented by eight of its own experts. The Chairman's
Advisory Group (CAG), which prepares the adaptions to standards and submits
them for decision, will also meet during the two-week event. R. STAHL is
represented by four experts at the CAG. The standards are the basis for the
conformity assessment in the IECEx system, chaired by Prof. Dr. Thorsten
Arnhold, who is responsible for technology at R. STAHL.
