The European Regulation
Directive 2014/34/EU is one of the pillars of safety in industrial workplaces subject to potentially explosive atmospheres. The Directive regulates the use of equipment and protective systems in environments where the presence of combustible gases or dust could cause explosions. Compliance with the Directive’s requirements not only ensures the protection of personnel and infrastructure but is also essential for allowing the free circulation of products within the European Union.
The Directive covers a wide range of products, including both electrical and non-electrical devices, which must meet specific technical standards. ATEX certification is mandatory to ensure that the equipment does not pose an ignition source and meets safety requirements, protecting both personnel and industrial infrastructure from potential explosion risks.
ATEX Certification: A Necessity for the Industry
Obtaining ATEX certification is mandatory for manufacturers wishing to market electrical and non-electrical devices intended for these environments. The certification attests that the equipment is safe concerning the explosion hazard.
