ATEX

Directive 2014/34/EU and Directive 1999/92/EC on area classification

Filigrana

ATEX regulations define the requirements for equipment and workplaces operating in potentially explosive atmospheres within the European Union.

Directive 2014/34/EU applies to equipment and protective systems intended for use in hazardous areas, while Directive 1999/92/EC focuses on workplace safety and the classification of explosive zones.

Compliance with ATEX is essential to ensure safe operation, prevent explosion risks, and achieve legal market access in the EU (applying the CE marking).

We support manufacturers and operators in meeting ATEX requirements through:

  • Hazardous area classification (zones 0, 1, 2 / 20, 21, 22);
  • Equipment selection and ATEX conformity;
  • Risk assessment for explosive atmospheres;
  • Technical documentation and compliance support;
  • Notified Body support.

Our approach ensures alignment with EU safety standards, reducing risk and simplifying certification processes.
