Morning all, I wonder if someone could offer me some advice. One of our operatives was rejected from a course not long ago because his hearing aids were not ATEX rated. After a bit of research and speaking to other experts within the business, this has proven to be correct. Has anyone else come across this? If so what were your findings and where did you get ATEX rated hear aids from? Many thanks in advance

Standard hearing aids (less than two button cells) are classed as PEP 1 devices and entirely acceptable within any zone 2 or 22 location. Refer to ISA-RP12.12.03 Recommended Practice for Portable Electronic Products Suitable for Use in Class I and II, Division 2, Class I Zone 2 and Class III, Division 1 and 2 Hazardous (Classified) Locations Regards
