How to choose an Explosion Proof Vacuum Cleaner System

The Tiger-Vac explosion proof product line consists solely of LEGALLY CERTIFIED explosion proof vacuum cleaners. Certification and testing in accordance with U.S. / Canadian standards was performed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) recognized by OSHA’s NRTL program. Individuals or companies in North America claiming that their products “meet” the applicable standards, when their products have never been tested or certified by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), are making statements which are confusing and misleading. At Tiger-Vac, we believe that safety has no compromise.
