Where's the Royal Navy?


Well here I am writing this from my enforced home of Los Christianos in Tenerife. Bloody tough I can tell you. As of the other day the royal navy were coming to collect us. My wife seemed quite keen on this idea, not sure why! However, my liver can take much more of this let alone the sunshine, bikinin clad pedestrians (thats just the blokes!)and of course other british holiday makers. You know the ones you try desperately to avoid. However, I think I did once where a football shirt abroad and seek out liver and bacon from the myriad of spanish restaurants.Of course i am not alone in my predicament. Our sales director is also stuck in a holiday resort frantically trying to manage his ongoing success with two fast thumbs on a blackeberry. No mean feat having answed 50+ emails. I am sure there will be cases of repetitive thumb strain in the coming weeks. His wife has found a free creche for him advertised as "Husband ruining your free time, then drop him off at our free creche, only money for drinks required".

So during this time I have managed to check my messages on Linkedin, or whatever it is. And found that I had been invited to join the IECex discussion group. Oh, yes I move in only the best circles!! I can feel the jealousy already from you NON memebers..

And that reminded about the excellent presentation I listened to recently in Paris by one of our (R Stahl) very own field bus experts. IECex is an excellent scheme and quite straight forward to see the goal, but it needs to be viewed also with local country electrical and installation standards as well

The presentation Stahl can give informs the audience about the history, the development and the current situation regarding IECex. From the perspective of the End user, EPC, DCS, installer and or OEM. Stahl as you know has the largest range of IECEx approved Hazardous Area product in the market. Automation, Switchgear, lighting and of course specialist panels.

If you or your organisation want to know more about IEC Ex, then contact us.

We really are very nice people!
