What is ATEX Certification?


ATEX certification is an EU standard that ensures equipment is safe to use in potentially explosive atmospheres. It is crucial for protecting both people and equipment in industries where flammable substances are handled. In this article, you will learn what ATEX means and why it is important.

ATEX stands for "Atmosphères Explosibles" and refers to a European standard regulated by the EU ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU). This directive applies to equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Such environments can arise when gases, vapors, mists, or dusts mix with air in sufficient quantities to create an explosive atmosphere. ATEX certification ensures that equipment is designed and manufactured to minimize the risk of explosions.

Key Points:

• The ATEX Directive came into force in April 2016 and applies to all products sold within the EU.
• Products that meet the requirements carry specific markings indicating their suitability and safety for use in explosive environments.
