Explosion Proof PTZ Dome Camera Checklist for UK Procurement Teams Before Purchasing

Nearly a third of hazardous-area equipment failures traced back by safety auditors aren't design faults at all — they're procurement decisions made without the right evaluation criteria. A camera that looks identical to a certified unit on a spec sheet can still fail an audit if the paperwork doesn't hold up or the supplier can't answer basic lifecycle questions. If you're responsible for procuring surveillance equipment for a hazardous UK site, the wrong purchase doesn't just cost money. It creates a compliance liability that sits on your books until someone catches it. This checklist covers what to verify before you sign anything.
