Globalwave Devices Receive C1D1 Rating
Sep 1, 2007 12:00 PM
TransCore's GlobalWave satellite-based trailer tracking devices were awarded the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 913 Intrinsically Safe Apparatus and Associated Apparatus Certification. The Class 1 Division 1 rating (C1D1) is the highest qualification necessary for tracking dangerous shipments via road, rail, or barge that have ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, or liquids.
GlobalWave's market reach is being expanded to support the full scope of transportation tracking requirements, whether basic tracking, sensor-based, temperature-critical goods, hazardous materials, or munitions. Under the UL 913 category, GlobalWave technology is certified for intrinsically safe operation, meaning any spark or thermal effect is incapable of causing ignition, of a mixture of flammable or combustible material, oil, or gas.
