Hazard Involved: Micropack (Engineering) Ltd shipped non-conforming Micropack (Engineering) Ltd Models FDS300 and FDS301 Optical Flame Detectors, Consilium Marine & Safety AB Models CD-F 300 and CD-F 301 Optical Flame Detectors, Dräger Safety UK Ltd Models Flame 3000 and Flame 5000 Optical Flame Detectors, Micropack (Engineering) Ltd Model FS301 Flame Simulator, Consilium Marine & Safety AB Model CD-FS 301 Flame Simulator, and Dräger Safety UK Ltd Model FS5000 Flame Simulators manufactured between July 2012 and July 2019.
Due to a dimensional issue with the glass window in the assembly of the flame detectors and flame simulator, the resulting flame-path gaps do not meet the requirements of IEC 60079-1 for IIC applications and FM 3615 Class 1 DIV 1 Groups B, C and D applications. This is a safety related non-conformance that could present a dangerous situation in certain applications of the product.
Micropack (Engineering) Ltd, Consilium Marine & Safety AB and Dräger Safety UK Ltd are reaching out to all users to notify them of this situation (see attached Product Safety Notifications).
