Explosion-proof luminaires for zone 1/21
EX luminaires WEIMAR and LAUSANNE for optimum explosion protection (EX)
NORKA is very familiar with the requirements for lighting in potentially explosive atmospheres, so-called EX areas. Our explosion-proof luminaires WEIMAR and LAUSANNE are used in the most difficult areas with harsh conditions in compliance with exactly defined safety and lighting requirements. The new EX-protected luminaires for zone 1/21 impress with their special technical features and high quality of light.
Explosion-proof linear luminaire WEIMAR
Durable, efficient, and easy to mount.
Our WEIMAR explosion-proof ceiling and wall-mounted luminaire with state-of-the-art LEDs can be connected on both sides. It also has five-core through wiring for installation in light strips and a sealing system for protection rating IP66 and IP67. Can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres in zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.
Explosion-proof tubular light fitting LAUSANNE
Water pressure-tight, extremely robust, and compact.
Our LAUSANNE tube light for potentially explosive atmospheres is equipped with the latest LED technology and has IP66, IP67 and IP68 degree of protection. Suitable for operation at extreme ambient temperatures from -55 °C to +70 °C (switch on above -40 °C). Our LAUSANNE can be used in potentially explosiveatmospheres in zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.
Areas of use for EX-protected luminaires
The WEIMAR and LAUSANNE explosion-proof luminaires serve technical installations in production areas and industries where there is a risk of hazardous explosive atmospheres due to flammable dusts or combustible gases, vapours, and mists.
Typical fields of work include sewage treatment plants (digestion towers, maintenance corridors, aeration tanks), food processing plants (mills, breweries, bakeries) or energy plants (LNG terminals, hydrogen workshops, etc.).

Safety requirements for explosion-proof luminaires according to ATEX / IECEx
The WEIMAR and LAUSANNE luminaires are certified and designed as explosion-proof according to ATEX / IECEx to protect people and process engineering systems in potentially explosive atmospheres.
ATEX certification
ATEX is the short form of the French description for explosive atmospheres ‘ATmosphères EXplosibles’ and a European certification according to the valid ATEX directive of the European Union.
ATEX zone classification
EX areas are categorised into EX protection zones - depending on the required degree of protection against explosions.
Our new explosion-proof luminaires WEIMAR and LAUSANNE have a higher EX protection degree and can also be used in zone 1/21. Other EX-protected LEDs from NORKA (BASEL LED, HEIDELBERG LED, BERN LED EX) for potentially explosive atmospheres can be used in Zone 2/22 as standard.
| Danger | Risk | Risk | Risk |
| present constantly, very frequently and for a long time: | present occasionally: | present rarely or only for a short time: | |
| Gases, vapours or mists | Zone 0 | Zone 1 | Zone 2 |
| Dusts | Zone 20 | Zone 21 | Zone 22 |

IECEx certification and classification of zones
IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission Explosive) is an international certification (not in Europe or the USA) in compliance with IEC standards.
The IECEx zone categorisation is similar to ATEX. Only Zone 0/20 and Zone 1/21 are summarised in IECEx.
