Zaštita od eksplozije - ATEX direktiva

Safety engineering in potentially explosive hazardous areas

In the EU, all explosion-proof equipment and systems fall under the ATEX Directive. This includes anything used within, or in conjunction with potentially explosive atmospheres such as safety, control and regulation devices and protective components, equipment and systems.

If you manufacture or sell equipment and systems of this nature, TÜV SÜD can ensure you conform to the relevant ATEX Directives. Thereby entitling you to feature the CE marking.

TÜV SÜD experts can assist manufacturers in the process of classifying their products to equipment type, equipment category and other classification requirements found within the directive 94/9/EC, the relevant EN standards for electrical and non-electrical equipment, and the requirements coming from customers of manufacturers (e.g. zones) related to the Directive 1999/92/EC.

With us as your partner, you can be sure your business conforms to every aspect of ATEX.

The following products are affected by the ATEX Directive:

• Equipment: Machinery, equipment, fixtures, control equipment and parts
• Protection systems: explosion suppression systems and relief systems and other
• Components: Components required for the safe operation of equipment and protective systems
