IECEx & ATEX Cable Glands For Hazardous Areas
IECEX ATEX Cable Glands
Hazardous (Classified) Locations (HL) are defined as areas where fire or explosion hazards exist due to the presence of flammable gases, vapors or dusts.
The various cable types in conjunction with the appropriate hazardous area cable glands, joints or terminations must provide a system that significantly limits or completely eliminates the possibility of an electrical arc or spark igniting the surrounding flammable gases, vapors or dusts in potentially explosive atmospheres.

- W – Single Wire Armour SWA or Aluminium Wire Armour AWA
- X – Braid
- T – Pliable Wire Armour
- Y – Aluminium Strip Armour
- Z – Double Steel Tape Armour
Typical hazardous area cable glands certified according to IECex and ATEX:
- Single seal only
- Armour clamp only
- Armour clamp and seal on outer sheath
- Armour clamp and seal on inner sheath
- Armour clamp and seal on inner and outer sheath
- Barrier glands
