5.1 Introduction
ACTIA developed specific versions of SmarTach
®
to be installed
in dangerous goods vehicles. These SmarTach
®
undergo a
standard EC inspection to ensure that they function properly
during the transport and handling of dangerous goods in
explosive atmospheres.
This EC inspection certifies them as per directive
ATEX 94/9/EC. A simple means of checking compliance with
this requirement is to ensure that the
logo is present:
• On the front of the product,
• On the identification label or on the body of the product.
In addition, the whole vehicle is required to undergo an identical
inspection for which it must:
• Use an EC conforming tachograph for dangerous goods
vehicles,
• Use a speed sensor, also EC conforming, that is compatible
with the tachograph,
• Comply with the vehicle wiring rules (IEC standard 60079 –
14) for proper installation and use of these products.
Here are two examples of identification markings for these EC
approved products as per directive ATEX 94/9/EC:
• On the tachograph
INERIS 05 ATEX 0000 II 3(2) G EEx nA [ib] IIC T6 CE0080
• On the speed sensor connected to the tachograph
INERIS 05 ATEX 0000 II 2 G EEx ib IIC T4 CE0080
More detailed technical information for installers is
delivered with each device in the form of a
declaration of EC conformity and instruction
manual.
This specific installation must undergo regular
checks at an approved tachograph centre.
The tachograph and sensor cannot be repaired by
these centres.
