Baton Rouge, LA, December 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- VarTech's new UL-1604; UL-60950 Certified and CSA 213; CSA-60950 Certified all-in-one fully sealed NEMA 4X computer/LCDs and panel mounted computers insure intrinsic safety in Class 1/Division 2 hazardous areas where explosive or flammable gasses or vapors could possibly exist. Both the fully sealed and panel mount all-in-one computer models are available with 10.4", 15.0", 17.0", and 19.0" LCD screen sizes, all with integrated touch screens. These units require no purge system, giving them a sleek design with a smaller foot print.

VarTech’s new line of UL-1604; UL-60950 Certified and CSA 213; CSA-60950 Certified computers are equipped with high performance Intel processors, DDR2 system memory, a 320GB hard drive and Windows XP Pro operating system with optional Windows XP Embedded or Windows 7 operating systems.

VarTech Systems goes beyond UL60950 testing to achieve UL 1604 certification. UL 1604 certification assures safe operation in areas where potentially explosive or flammable substances may be present.

UL 1604 is a higher-level certification awarded only to information technology products that are already UL 60950-compliant. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) assures that products meeting its UL 1604 standard can be safely operated where specific potentially flammable or explosive materials may be present. To earn UL 1604 certification, VarTech computers are tested by Nationally Recognized Testing Labs (NRTLs) to meet six basic criteria: spark ignition, temperature rating, warning markings, I/O mechanical integrity, water ingress and dust penetration testing.
