ATEX EUROPEAN DIRECTIONS
What does ATEX mean?
ATEX is the name of two European Directives that control potentially explosive atmospheres. The first 2014/34/UE, pres -
cribes the minimum safety and health requirements of equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres and is aimed at manufacturers. This directive has the task of bringing together the legislation
in Member States for equipment and protective systems for these risk areas. The second, 2014/34/UE, prescribes the
minimum safety and health requirements of workers exposed to the risks of explosive atmospheres.
What is an explosive atmosphere?
An explosive atmosphere is one that may become explosive due to the local and working conditions. It is defined as a
mixture of air and inflammable substances in the form of gases, vapours, mist or dust in which, after ignition has occur -
red, combustion spreads to the entire unburned mixture.
What does the directive apply to?
Equipment and protective systems intended for use in explosive atmospheres.
Safety, control and monitoring devices that contribute to the safety operating of equipment and protective systems.
All electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment.
What are the user’s obligations?
With regard to the prevention of explosions and relative protection, users are obliged: to take suitable technical or orga -
nizational measures depending on the type of control globally assess the risks of explosion divide up the areas in which
explosive atmospheres may occur indicate areas defined as dangerous.
Which zones and which hazards?
Zone 0 for gas (or 20 for dust): a place in which an explosive atmosphere is present
continuously or for long periods
Zone 1 for gas (or 21 for dust): a place in which an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur
during normal operating
Zone 2 for gas (or 22 for dust): a place in which an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur
during normal operating and if it does occur, will persist for a short period only
How to check for compliance?
Equipment of components that comply with the directive must bear the CE mark and the special marking described
below:
