1.1.3 Safety regulations for Ex-approved products in potentially explosive
atmospheres
Description of ATEX
The ATEX directives are a specification enforced in Europe for electrical and non-electrical equipment.
ATEX deals with the control of potentially explosive atmospheres and the standards of equipment and
protective systems used within these atmospheres. The relevance of the ATEX requirements is not limit-
ed to Europe. You can apply these guidelines to equipment installed in any potentially explosive atmos-
phere.
Every installation has to be properly analyzed and classified by professional certified personnel that set
the areas, zones and any other space to a corresponding hazardous area classification. Classification
normally includes the form of the hazardous material the potential exposure, the potential level, the fre-
quency of potential exposure. All equipment installed within such are must be certified accordingly, all
activities related to such equipment have to be handled to preserve its certification and the site specifica-
tion.
Guidelines for compliance
WARNING:
Risk of serious personal injury. Applying heat to impellers, propellers, or their retaining devices
can cause trapped liquid to rapidly expand and result in a violent explosion. This manual clear-
ly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods must be adhered to.
Never apply heat to aid in their removal unless explicitly stated in this manual.
If there are any questions regarding these requirements, the intended use, or if the equipment requires
modification, contact an ITT representative before you proceed.
Personnel requirements
ITT disclaims all responsibility for work done by untrained and unauthorized personnel.
