What Our Certifications Mean for Hazardous Area Connectivity Customers

Extronics maintains ISO 9001, ISO 80079-34 and MET certification to demonstrate the quality, safety and compliance behind our hazardous area connectivity solutions. For customers operating in explosive atmospheres, these certifications provide confidence that our Wireless, RTLS and Auto ID solutions are supported by robust quality management, controlled manufacturing processes, traceability and independent product safety assurance.

For us, audits aren’t just boxes to tick; they’re proof of the care, discipline, and pride we put into our work every day. They validate the systems we’ve built, the designs we’ve refined, and the culture that refuses to cut corners. 

Our recent audits for ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 80079:34 (Safety in Hazardous Environments), and MET Certification (Product Safety Testing) reaffirm that commitment.  

Together, they highlight the strength of our processes, the resilience of our solutions, and the trust we continue to earn from customers who depend on us in the most demanding environments. 

To highlight what this means in practice, our Quality Engineer, Natasha Taylor, shares insights into how these certifications strengthen the assurance our customers place in us.  

ISO 9001 Certification: Quality Management, Traceability and Process Control

During the audit, we demonstrated that our QMS remains compliant and effective by providing clear evidence of process control, traceability, risk management, and continual improvement ensuring the consistent manufacture of safe, compliant products for use in hazardous areas. 

How ISO 9001 Supports Safer, More Reliable Connectivity Solutions

Our ISO 9001 certification helps customers by ensuring safe, compliant, and reliable products, supported by robust quality processes, continuous improvement, and full traceability, giving them confidence in both our products and our partnership. It also supports the consistent processes behind our hazardous area connectivity solutions

The audit reinforced our commitment to designing and building equipment that performs safely in explosive atmospheres. Our testing, documentation, and engineering practices stand up to the toughest scrutiny. 

ISO 80079-34 Certification: Manufacturing Control for Explosive Atmospheres

Our team’s expertise in ISO 80079-34, supported by our wider quality management processes, ensures that we fully understand the risks in explosive environments. We combine that knowledge with strict discipline while adhering to procedures, thorough testing and documentation – so safety is built into every stage of design and production. This approach guarantees compliance, reliability, and ultimately, safer operations in hazardous areas.

How Ex Compliance Is Built into Design, Testing and Production

We’ve shown leadership by building compliance into every stage, proactively engaging with certification bodies, investing in advanced testing, and maintaining a culture of accountability so we don’t just meet Ex requirements, we consistently exceed them. 

MET Certification: Independent Product Safety Assurance for Hazardous Area Equipment

Achieving MET certification shows that our products meet demanding international standards for electrical safety and performance. This independent verification helps us bring safe, compliant products confidently to market. 

How Documentation, Training and Process Control Support MET Certification

Our success with MET certification came from maintaining our compliance from day one, keeping thorough documentation, and ensuring our team was well-trained and aligned, so when it came time for the audit, we were fully prepared, and the process ran smoothly. 

What MET Certification Means for Product Safety and Market Readiness

MET certification shows our commitment to safety and quality, giving customers confidence that our products are fully compliant, reliable, and ready for the market. 

Passing these audits isn’t just about maintaining certifications; it’s about proving, year after year, that safety and quality are at the heart of everything we do. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, and we’re excited to keep building that foundation for the people and industries who rely on us most.
