Who issues the ATEX certification?
The ATEX certification is issued by designated Notified Bodies in the European Union that are authorized to assess and certify products for compliance with the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU). These bodies evaluate equipment and protective systems intended for use in explosive atmospheres, ensuring they meet specific safety standards. Manufacturers must submit their products for testing and assessment to these Notified Bodies to obtain ATEX certification.
How do you obtain an ATEX certificate?
An ATEX certificate is needed to demonstrate that an equipment can be safely operated in a potentially explosive athmosphere created by the presence of flammable gas, vapour, mist or clouds of combustibe dust. ATEX certificates are issued only by European Notified Certification Bodies, such as PTB or DEKRA EXAM in Germany, CESI or IMQ in Italy, BASEEFA in UK and many others. The ATEX Certificate, officially known as "EC Type Examination Certificate", is issued following the examination of the equipment Technical File and testing, according to the relevant standards that are applicable for each specific type of explosion protection applied to the equipment, such as flameproof or dust proof containers, intrinsically safe electrical devices, etc. Once the ATEX certificate is obtained the manufacturer must also get form a Notified Body a certification of the production: it is a control of the manufacturing activities based on ISO 9001 and focused on the ATEX requirements of the product. The basis of ATEX certification is the European Directive 94/9/EC, you can find almost all official information here: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/atex/indexinfor.htm.
What is a liquids atex rating?
An ATEX rating is a classification system used to define the level of protection required for equipment to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. Liquids can be classified under ATEX as either Group II (for use in surface industries) or Group I (for use in mining applications), with different subcategories based on the level of hazard present. The rating is important for ensuring safety and preventing accidents in volatile environments.

What qualification do you need to work on atex equipment?
To work on ATEX (ATmosphères EXplosibles) equipment, individuals typically need to have specific qualifications related to hazardous areas. This often includes training in explosion protection, understanding ATEX regulations, and obtaining certifications such as NEBOSH or similar safety qualifications. Additionally, practical experience and knowledge of the equipment and the environment in which it operates are essential. Compliance with local regulations and employer-specific requirements is also necessary.
When did ATEX become a legal requirement?
ATEX, which stands for "ATmosphères EXplosibles," became a legal requirement in the European Union with the introduction of Directive 94/9/EC on March 1, 1996. This directive was aimed at ensuring equipment used in explosive atmospheres met specific safety standards. It was later replaced by the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, which came into effect on April 20, 2016. Compliance with these directives is mandatory for manufacturers and importers of equipment intended for use in potentially explosive environments.
What is EC atex directive?
The EC ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU) is a European Union regulation that addresses the equipment and protective systems intended for use in explosive atmospheres. It aims to ensure the safety and health of workers by requiring products to meet specific safety standards before they can be marketed in the EU. The directive classifies environments into zones based on the likelihood of explosive mixtures occurring and mandates appropriate testing and certification for equipment used in these areas. Compliance with the ATEX directive is essential for manufacturers and distributors of equipment for industries such as mining, oil and gas, and chemical processing.
