EU-Declaration of 
Conformity

 

 
 
 

 

With 

European 

Directives 

 

Issued under the sole responsibility of  

Expo Technologies Ltd 

Unit 2, The Summit, Hanworth Road 

Sunbury on Thames TW16 5DB, UK 

 

This is to declare that 

Purge Controllers: Sub-MiniPurge, MiniPurge, 

Super-MiniPurge, Super-MiniPurge 1800/3500/7000/7000X

  

are manufactured in conformity with the following 

European Directives and standards: 

 

Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU 
MiniPurge Systems with a /PO suffix in the type number are non-electrical and are outside the scope of the 
EMC Directive. 

MiniPurge Systems with suffices /PA or /IS incorporate one or more volt-

free (“dry”) contacts which work in 

circuits specified by others.  In normal operation these circuits are “benign” 

and no CE mark is appropriate. 

MiniPurge Systems with Electronic Timer (Option /ET) are designed to conform to the EMC Directive, in 
compliance with EN 61000-6-4:2007 and EN 61000-6-2:2005 (Intertek Report EM10048000).   

 
Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU 

MiniPurge Systems are intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (Hazardous Areas) and are 
therefore excluded from the Low Voltage Directive. 

 
Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC 

MiniPurge Systems are classified as not higher than category I under Article 9 of this Directive and intended for 
use in potentially explosive atmospheres (Hazardous Areas) and are therefore excluded from the Pressure 
Equipment Directive. 

 
ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU Equipment for explosive atmospheres  

MiniPurge Systems are designed to conform to the ATEX Directive in fulfilment of the essential health and 
safety requirements set out in Annex II, and in compliance with: 

EN 60079-0: 2012 + A11:2013   

EN 60079-2: 2014 

 

 

 

MiniPurge Systems are certified by SIRA Certification Service, Hawarden Industrial Park, Hawarden CH5 3US, 
England, under EC Type-Examination Certificate SIRA 01ATEX1295X, in compliance with: 
EN 60079-0: 2012 

 

EN 60079-2: 2014 

 
According to the model, MiniPurge Systems are rated and shall be marked as follows: 
 

MiniPurge, Type X & Type Y models 

Group II Category 2G & 2D 

 II 2(2) GD 

MiniPurge, Type Z models 

 

Group II Category 3G & 3D 

 II 2(3) GD 

 

MiniPurge systems are manufactured under Production Quality Assurance Notification 
SIRA 99 ATEX M043, issued by SIRA Certification Service, Notified Body No 0518.
