Gerotto has obtained IECEx international certification for its tank cleaning system. The company was accompanied throughout the process by Tuv Sud. IECEx is a voluntary certification scheme that aims to verify the conformity of equipment, services and personnel intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX/Ex).

Gerotto has been designing, manufacturing and selling robotic solutions for industrial and tank cleaning worldwide for over 20 years, and this is an important milestone in the company’s engineering innovation journey. Gerotto products have been ATEX Zone 0 certified for many years, and the achievement of IECEX certification allows for an even stronger position in non-European markets and guarantees increasingly high safety standards for customers and asset owners.

Alberto Feletto, technical and R&D manager comments: ‘The IECEx certification is an important part of Gerotto’s industrial plan, which envisages a significant acceleration in certifications and patents for the product. For years, the company has focused on a rigorous approach to safety, aiming for certification of every component in its wide range of robotic solutions. We believe this is the right way to support our customers’ growth and increase safety in the sector.’
