TYPE 22 VACUUM CLEANERS
ATTENTION:
Vacuum cleaners advertised as « Type 22 » are commercial vacuum cleaners which do not hold any official certification for use in hazardous areas.
« Type 22 » vacuum cleaners are not recognized by ATEX Directives applicable in Europe, nor by the certification group IECex which is applicable Internationally, nor by NFPA regulations applicable in North America.
The « Type 22 » vacuum cleaner was designed purely for commercial reasons in order to confuse and mislead the public regarding equipment designed specifically for use in an ATEX Zone 22 hazardous location and equipment designed for use in commercial establishments such as hotels and restaurants.
Vacuum cleaners advertised as « Type 22 » are dangerous when used in hazardous areas as they have been designed to be used in hotels and restaurants to clean out grease traps and washrooms.
