Basic principles of the ATEX certificate

• Explosion protection - ensuring safety in potentially explosive atmospheres.  
• Classification of zones - Categorisation of areas according to explosion risk (e.g. zone 0, 1, 2 for gases).  
• Device categories - Products must fulfil special protection requirements depending on the place of use.  
• Compliance with EU directives - Conformity with ATEX 2014/34/EU for equipment and ATEX 1999/92/EC for working environments.  
• Types of protection - Technical measures to prevent ignition sources (e.g. flameproof enclosure, intrinsic safety).  
• Labelling requirements - ATEX-compliant devices carry special labelling with zone and protection information.  
• Risk assessment & documentation - Companies must assess hazards and provide evidence of protective measures.  

ATEX-certified products ensure safety in potentially explosive atmospheres, e.g. in chemical plants, refineries or tankers.
