ATEX

This document provides information on the ATEX Directive for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. It discusses the classification system for equipment groups and categories based on the level of protection required. Equipment is classified based on the type of gas or dust present and divided into zones based on the likelihood of an explosive atmosphere. Temperature classes define the maximum surface temperature allowed to avoid ignition. Documentation for ATEX compliant equipment must include a declaration of conformity and equipment marking with the explosion protection symbol and classification.

ATEX- Directive

Questionnaire to the ATEX-Analyses

Sheet No.

34279-4B

1. General
The ATEX analysis is required when products are intended to be used in, or in connection with, a potentially explosive atmosphere. Potentially explosive atmospheres within the meaning of Directive 94/9/EC are atmospheres which could become explosive due to local and/or operational conditions. Products for whose use special regulations apply (e.g. seagoing vessels and their equipment, which are covered by the IMO Convention) are excluded from Directive 94/9/EC. Standards of explosion safety are classified according to Directive 94/9/EC point 4.4.

2. Classification
The application-specific degree of protection must be indicated by the customer (please mark as applicable).

The type of explosive atmosphere: Equipment group I Category M1 Category M2

G (Gas)

D (Dust) Equipment group II

Category 1 Zone 0 (G) Zone 20 (D)

Category 2 Zone 1 (G) Zone 21 (D)

Category 3 Zone 2 (G) Zone 22 (D)

Temperature class (Maximum permissible surface temperature) T1 450C T2 300C T3 200C T4 135C T5 100C T6 85C

Explanations regarding assignation of applicance groups and categories (zones). Equipment group I (potentially explosive atmospheres in underground operations) Degree of protection Very high High Category M1 M2 Guarantee of protection Two independent protective means, or safe even if two faults occur independently of each other. Suitable for normal operation and difficult operating conditions. Operating conditions 1) Equipment remains operational and continues to be operated in the event of a potentially explosive atmosphere. Equipment is disconnected in the event of a potentially explosive atmosphere.

Equipment group II (potentially explosive atmospheres in the other areas) Degree of protection Very high Category 1 Guarantee of protection Two independent protective means, or safe even if two faults occur independently of each other. Safe in normal operation and if the usual faults occur. Safe in normal operation. Operating conditions 1) Equipment remains operational and continues to be operated in zones 0, 1, 2 (G) and 20, 21, 22 (D). Equipment remains operational and continues to be operated in zones 1, 2 (G) and/or 21, 22 (D). Equipment remains operational and continues to be operated in zone 2 (G) and/or 22 (D).

Note: See also Directive 1999/92/EC on minimum requirements for improving the safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres.

3. Documentation and marking


The documentation on equipment for which Directive 94/9/EC applies is produced according to the specific application and equipment. The documentation shows the classification of the equipment/combination of equipment according to Directive 94/9/EC in a declaration of conformity. The rating plate(s) indicate the explosion protection symbol, the equipment group, the equipment category and the potentially explosive atmosphere for which the protective system is suitable.
