PROINEX MPTV Grounding Monitor Achieves SIL 1 Certification for Flammable Product Handling

PROINEX, based in Argentina, has achieved SIL 1 certification for its MPTV Grounding Monitor — independently certified by Risknowlogy for use in safety instrumented functions protecting against hazards from flammable and combustible products.

Certification Achieved

The MPTV Grounding Monitor is designed for use in environments where uncontrolled static discharge from flammable or combustible materials represents a safety risk. SIL 1 certification confirms that the device's safety function has been independently assessed and that its safety integrity level is technically justified.

SIL level: SIL 1. Application: Handling of flammable and combustible products. Organisation: PROINEX, Argentina.

Why This Certification Matters

In industries handling flammable materials, grounding monitors play a direct role in preventing ignition events. Independent SIL certification demonstrates that the safety function is based on verified data — not assumptions — and supports regulatory compliance and insurance requirements.

In hazardous area applications, certification is not optional. It is the engineering baseline for demonstrating that safety functions work.

Need independent certification?

Risknowlogy is an independent certification body for functional safety — certifying people, products, subsystems, solutions, and management systems worldwide.
