Explosion-Proved Systems (ATEX)ATEX (French abbreviation for 'Atmosphere Explosive') is an European guideline assuring the safe operation of industrial systems in explosion sensitive environments or under conditions carrying a risk of explosion.
Two EU guidelines were released to execute these tasks - 99/92/EG and 94/9/EG. Since July 1st, 2003 these guidelines are binding. The installation of explosion-proved systems not complying with these guidelines will no longer be permitted.
The guideline 99/92/EG describes the duties of the system user whereas the 94/9/EG lays down the duties of the system manufacturer.
The implementation of "ATEX Guidelines" in our temperature and climatic test chambers for usage under conditions carrying a risk of fire and explosion are described in our brochure (PDF). | | |
