Frequently Asked Questions

Explosion proof lighting on FPSOs and offshore platforms may require classification society type approval in addition to IECEx or ATEX certification, depending on the owner's requirements and the vessel's classification society (ABS, DNV, Lloyd's Register, or Bureau Veritas). Raytec SPARTAN LED luminaires carry ABS type approval alongside IECEx and ATEX certification, making them suitable for the majority of GCC and international FPSO and offshore platform installations. AJV Tech provides complete documentation for classification society submittals.

Offshore explosion proof lighting must carry a minimum IP66 rating for resistance to heavy seas, water spray, and high-pressure wash-down, with IP67 preferred for exposed deck areas subject to wave wash. The fixtures must also resist corrosion from saltwater, humidity, and UV exposure. Raytec SPARTAN luminaires are rated IP66 and are constructed from copper-free aluminium alloy and marine-grade stainless steel fasteners for long-term corrosion resistance in offshore environments.

Explosion proof lighting on an FPSO is typically powered from a dedicated Ex certified lighting distribution board drawing from the vessel's main electrical system. Zone 1 classified areas such as the process deck, turret, and mooring areas require Zone 1 rated wiring and fittings throughout the supply circuit. AJV Tech can advise on the complete lighting distribution and luminaire package for FPSO lighting upgrades and new-build projects.
