About
Karandikar Laboratories, with around two decades of operation, is a NABL-accredited laboratory at Betegaon near Boisar in Palghar district, Maharashtra, and its defining specialism is explosion protection rather than electromagnetic compatibility alone. The laboratory tests Ex equipment across the protection concepts - flameproof enclosures (Exd), intrinsic safety (Exia), non-sparking (Exn) and increased safety (Exe) - and is an IECEx Training Hub, handling certification routes through IECEx, ATEX, the Indian Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), BIS and the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS) as well as country-specific approvals. That makes it the only facility in this directory combining hazardous-area certification with EMC work, and the reason customers in oil and gas, mining, chemicals and process industries use it: a flameproof instrument needs Ex certification, enclosure and environmental qualification and EMC evidence, and all three can be closed out at one address. EMC testing is run against the European directives its clients mark to - the EMC Directive, the Low Voltage Directive and the Machinery Directive - with the emission and immunity suite drawn from the CISPR and IEC 61000 families. The laboratory also performs electrical installation inspection in hazardous areas, Ex equipment inspection, and training on area classification and protection techniques, alongside enclosure, environmental and calibration work. Specialisations are explosion-protected (Ex) equipment testing and certification, hazardous-area installation inspection, IECEx and ATEX routes, PESO and DGMS approval, and combined Ex with EMC and environmental qualification.
