In Colombia, the Technical Regulation for Electrical Installations (RETIE) establishes the technical and safety requirements that electrical installations and products must meet. Its application is mandatory and is particularly relevant in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres, where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present.

In addition to RETIE, industrial projects must consider international standards such as IEC, UL, and NEMA standards, which define the criteria for the design, construction, and performance of electrical equipment for demanding conditions. Adherence to these standards not only ensures safety but also streamlines certification, auditing, and commissioning processes.

Classified areas necessitate equipment specifically designed to contain or prevent the ignition of explosive atmospheres. Therefore, products such as enclosures, conduit bodies, luminaires, and electrical accessories must possess certifications that validate their use in classified zones (Class I, II, III / Divisions or Zones).

The use of uncertified or inadequate equipment presents significant technical and legal risks, along with potential penalties and operational failures. Certification guarantees that products have been evaluated under controlled conditions and meet the electrical and mechanical safety requirements stipulated by current regulations.

At Soldexel, we offer a portfolio of certified solutions for classified areas and harsh industrial environments, supported by national and international regulations. Our technical approach allows us to assist clients from product selection to ensuring project regulatory compliance.

Safety, certification, and reliability are not merely supplementary; they form the foundation of every successful industrial installation.
