What is ATEX?
ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles) is a set of European Union directives that define equipment and working environment standards for explosive atmospheres. It covers equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, as well as workplace safety requirements to protect workers from explosion risks. The directives aim to ensure that equipment used in hazardous areas is designed and manufactured to be safe and does not cause ignition.
What other technologies are related to ATEX?
ATEX Competitor Technologies
IECEx
IECEx is an international certification scheme for equipment used in explosive atmospheres, similar to ATEX but with a global scope.
UL
UL (Underwriters Laboratories) provides testing and certification services, including explosion-proof equipment certification. While UL is primarily used in North America, it is an alternative to ATEX and IECEx for manufacturers selling products globally.
CSA
CSA Group (Canadian Standards Association) provides testing and certification services, including explosion-proof equipment certification for North America, an alternative to ATEX.
NEC
The National Electrical Code (NEC) is a US standard for safe electrical installation. Article 500-505 covers hazardous locations, and provides requirements similar to ATEX.
FM
FM Approvals provides testing and certification services, including explosion-proof equipment certification for North America, acting as a competitor to ATEX.
ATEX Complementary Technologies
DSEAR
DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations) is UK legislation related to ATEX, concerning workplace safety where explosive atmospheres may be present. It implements the ATEX workplace directive.
HAZOP
HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) is a risk assessment technique used to identify potential hazards and operational problems. It is frequently used as a tool in ATEX compliance.
SIL
Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is a measure of safety system performance required to mitigate a hazard. SIL is used with equipment in explosive atmospheres to meet ATEX and IECEx.
