When the modular container needs fire and explosion protection and external cables need to be connected to the container, how to do it?
Use MCT (the multi-cable transit system) to ensure that the container meets the air tightness and pressure requirements.
MCT features:
Use MCT (the multi-cable transit system) to ensure that the container meets the air tightness and pressure requirements.
MCT features:
- Protects against fire, smoke, explosions, rodents and other hazards;
- Protects against the elements and hazards caused by weather as well as water, sand and dust from splashes or hoses;
- MCT, specifically designed for IEC, ATEX and AEX standards, can be used in hazardous areas;
- MCTs can provide certified gas-tightness to a catastrophic pressure of 2.5 bar (~36 psi) in demanding offshore applications, and they can easily meet onshore requirements aiming at maintaining a pressure slightly positive to atmosphere.

What is ATEX?
The name ATEX comes from the French ATmosphère EXplosibles, describing the equipment and use of a product to be located in an explosive atmosphere.
The ATEX directive applies to a wide range of equipment, generally including offshore platforms, petrochemical plants, flour mills and other equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The Directive also applies to safety devices beneficial to the safety of equipment, which may be used outside potentially explosive atmospheres.
What is IECEx?
IEC Scheme for Certification to Standards for Electrical Equipment for Explosive atmospheres, referred to as IECEx explosion-proof certification, was established in 1996 and is an international explosion-proof certification organization for explosion-proof electrical products.
The IECEx Directive refers to the certification of electrical equipment specially used in industrial sectors such as petroleum, chemical, coal mining, textile, food processing and military industries that may accumulate explosive gases, vapors, dust or fibers and other explosive hazards.

Difference between ATEX and IECEx
- ATEX is a mandatory certification in the EU, and all explosion-proof equipment sold in the EU market must pass the ATEX explosion-proof directive 94/9/EC certification.ATEX certification is only available in EU countries.
- IECEx is a voluntary certification, not mandatory, and is not currently recognized by the EU and North American markets.
- ATEX certification can be based on IECEx test reports, but ATEX documents do not necessarily support IECEx certificates.

Fire ratings such as A60 and H120 indicate the duration the doors and walls must be able to withstand a particular type of fire. A diagram shows you the container fire rating.
In view of the above fire protection requirements, how is the container usually insulated and fireproof in structure?
- 1. Laying marine fireproof dressing at the bottom of the box
- 2. Laying self-leveling
- 3. Laying rock wool
- 4. Paste aluminum film
- 5. Install the sandwich panel
