With us, the jobs are safe. At least when it comes to the light.
Anyone who works in potentially explosive environments must pay attention to safety when working with electronic devices.
The lights of the new Ledlenser EX and iL series fulfil both Ex and IECEx standards in every respect. Specially designed for contact with explosive gases, vapours and dust in the best possible IIC and IIIC groups.
They are both optimally impervious to dust and water and are certified in accordance with the Ex & IECEx directives.
The two series are thereby organised for different situations of explosion hazards. The EX series is suitable for use in working areas of Zone 0/20 & Zone 1/21 (rechargeable EX models only) and the iL series for use in working areas of Zone 2/22.
Discover the new EX & iL lights from Ledlenser.

Frequently Asked Questions - Aura 9320A+ and 9322A+ Bulk Packs
How are CPS and rebate programs going to be managed?
The standard price per respirator and contract price arrangements per respirator remain unchanged regardless of the packaging.
What does this mean with our existing orders for 9320A+ and 9322A+ in the system / When will we be supplied with those orders / When current boxes run out what happens to back orders?
Stock delivered in June will have the standard box packaging. From July onwards, stock will be delivered in bulk packs.
An email from the distributor confirming willingness to receive the new codes instead of the old codes would suffice to update backorders.
Alternatively, the backorders with old codes can be cancelled, and new orders can be placed using the new codes.
Are all the back orders going to be consolidated and then shipped in new volumes?
For orders that would be supplied with 9320A+ or 9322A+ from July onwards, yes this can be done, provided the distributor confirms via email their willingness to receive the new codes
What happens to distributors who have their end users wanting less than case quantities of 9322A+ or volumes that are not a multiple of 200 units?
The intention behind bulk packing is to increase productivity and release orders faster. However, this comes at a cost of ordering by the case unfortunately.
How do distributors sell this product in less than carton QTY do they have the fitting instructions etc. on the packaging?
According to the TGA they cannot be sold loose either by 3M Au or by 3M authorised distributors.
Can distributors repackage into smaller volumes?
Yes
Can distributors sell individual masks?
As per TGA, neither 3M Australia nor 3M distributors would be able to sell individual units unless it comes with user instructions, 3M sponsor details, the required intended use, the product cat code, lot number and expiry.
Do you have any indication if this will be a permanent change considering the communication state effective July?
No changes until further notice
