PICO-GUARD has received certification from FM, CSA, and ATEX approval so that the optical fiber and the optical elements can be used in: • Class I, Division 1, Groups A,B,C&D (NEC Article 500) • Class I, Division 2, Groups A,B,C&D (NEC Article 500) • Class I, Zone 0, Group IIC (NEC Article 505 & IEC60079) As far as corrosive environments, it depends on the chemicals in the environment, but PICO-GUARD does have several optical elements specifically designed for impact-resistance and chemical-resistance with a typical environmental rating of IEC IP67.
