ATEX Certification is a regulation given to equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres that is put through rigorous testing outlined by ATEX directives, ensuring they operate safely for their intended use in the European Union. Products that are compliant with ATEX Certification Directives have been proven safe to be used in environments with explosive atmospheres, specific to the zone(s) they are certified to be used in.
ATEX Directives
There are two ATEX Directives, one for the user of the equipment and one for the manufacturer:
ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU (Equipment) – Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
ATEX Directive 1999/92/EC (Workplace) – Minimum requirements for improving the safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres
Why is ATEX Certification Important?
If you manufacture products for use in potentially explosive atmospheres you must provide assurance that your equipment will not cause an explosion during routine operation and it complies with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
