ATEX
Explosion protection according to Guideline(s) 94/9/EG (ATEX 95)
This directive sets up the rules for putting products into circulation which are used
in potentially explosive atmospheres or contain explosive atmospheres.
The ATEX 100a is intended for the manufacturer resp. persons putting equipments,
components, protection systems as well as safety, checking and control devices
in potentially explosive atmospheres into circulation – similarly to the EG Machinery Directive.
Thereby the national regulations were given up in favour of a uniform and high safety standard.
