Background information on ATEX The name ATEX, although unofficial, is today universally used to refer to European Directives 94/9/EC and 1999/92/EC. This acronym derives from the French term ATmosphère EXplosible. - Directive 94/9/EC is also know as the "Directive on ATEX products" or also called by insiders “ATEX 95” or alternatively “ATEX 100a”, based on the articles of the Treaty that established the creation of the European Community (now European Union), which specifies that the Council may adopt, by means of directives, measures to support and regulate the internal market. This directive...

Declaration of conformity - Warnings Every product that complies with Directive 94/9/EC must be supplied with an EC declaration of conformity that must contain at least the following information: - Name or trademark and address of the manufacturer - Description of the equipment - Provisions to which the equipment complies - Name, identification number and address of the notified body - "Type EC" certificate number - Identification data of the signee binding the manufacturer or the EU representative - Reference to (if applicable): harmonised standards, technical specifications used and other EU...

To determine if these conditions may occur, it is necessary to follow the procedure described below. Analysis of emissions - Assessment of the substances used and identification of combustive dusts - Acquisition of all data on the chemical-physical properties of the combustive dusts involved and as required for assessment purposes - dentification of the emission sources, intended as points or parts of a processing plant from which combustive dust may leak causing the formation of a I potentially explosive atmosphere ote: a layer of dust may represent a source of emission because it could cause...

Example of equipment classification: Group I = Mining sites II = Surface plants G = Protection from gases D = Protection from dust Category 1 (very high level of protection, explosive atmosphere that is permanently/frequently present or present for long periods of time) For zone: 0 20 Atmosphere: G D Category 2 (high level of protection; occasional presence of an explosive atmosphere) For zone: 1 21 Atmosphere: G D Category 3 (standard level of protection, unlikely presence of an explosive atmosphere) For zone: 2 22 Atmosphere: G D Type of protection for electric equipment = Increased safety...

Example of equipment classification: Symbol that confirms that the product is classified as Ex component Protection level assigned for: - G Gaseous atmosphere - D Dusty atmosphere c = Equipment protection level (c = increased) Temperature class: - Gases T1 = 450 °C T2 = 300 °C T3 = 200 °C T4 = 135 °C T5 = 100 °C T6 = 85 °C - Dust Txx °C = Ambient temperature range (dust) Groups of equipment: I = For use in mining sites II = For use in atmospheres with explosive gases (other than mining sites) Example: IIA propane, IIB ethylene, IIC hydrogen/acetylene III = For use in atmospheres with explosive...
