The Fluid and Climate Controls Europe (FCCE) Division of Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, announces that its 37 mm Ex d m coils have attained new ATEX and IECEx Type Examination Certificates according to the latest explosion protection (Ex) standards (Table 1).
In addition to these global certifications, Parker has updated Ex approvals in Korea (KC) and China (CCC), while also securing a new certification for Japan (JPEx) for selected models. These advancements enable industries worldwide to benefit from a safer, globally compliant solution for explosion-proof solenoid valve applications.

The upgraded 37 mm Ex dm coils are ideally suited for power generation, oil and gas, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage processing, and chemical production. Designed to control solenoid valves in Zone 1/21 hazardous areas, these coils ensure compliance with Ex dm requirements, preventing the risk of explosion in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dust are present.
Equipped with a 360-degree rotatable, fiberglass-reinforced plastic housing, a feature unique to Parker, these coils allow for flexible installation, particularly in confined spaces. The coil and protection devices are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin, ensuring shock resistance and corrosion protection. These coils are compatible with all Parker ATEX solenoid valves within the specified Coil Group.
A key advantage of these coils is their modular design, which allows different coil options to be mounted on the same valve while enabling multiple valve types to share a single coil design. This unique feature reduces inventory complexity, optimizes total cost of ownership, and improves overall operational efficiency.
“The latest upgrade reflects our commitment to staying ahead of evolving safety standards while delivering the highest quality products to our customers,” said Fabio Colombo, Product Manager at Parker. “Manufactured in Italy, these coils provide a flexible and globally certified solution, ensuring reliability and compliance even in the most demanding applications.”
