ATEX EU Certification
ATEX is short for "Atmospheres EXplosibles" in French and is an explosion-proof directive certified by the European Union CE.On March 23, 1994, the European Commission adopted the Directive "Equipment and Protection Systems for Potential Explosive Environments" (94/9/EC).The new ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU was issued in 2014 and will be enforced on April 20, 2016 without a transition period. This directive covers both mine and non-mine equipment and, unlike previous directives, includes mechanical and electrical equipment to extend the potential explosive hazard environment to dust, flammable gases, flammable vapours and mists in the air.It specifies the application technical requirements, basic health, safety requirements and the qualification procedures that must be followed before the equipment is put on the European market within its scope of use for potential explosive environmental equipment.

Products involved in ATEX certification:

1.ATEX Certified Electrical Equipment: Electrical equipment refers to equipment that contains electronic components for generating, storing, distributing, converting or controlling energy use.

2.ATEX Certified Non-Electrical Equipment: Only mechanically moving equipment that generates ignition sources (e.g. hot surfaces, friction sparks, etc.) such as decelerators, fans, compressors, brakes, mixers. Non-electrical equipment is usually connected to electrical equipment to provide kinetic energy.


The ATEX directive classifies devices into three categories based on their level of protection: 

Category 1 - Very high level of protection 

Category 2 - High level of protection 

Category 3 - Normal level of protection 

If the device is used in zones 0, 1 or 2, the category number is followed by the letter G (gas, vapor/mist):

Zone 0

Zone 1

Zone 2

Class 1G devices

Class 2G devices

Class 3G devices

如果设备被用于 20、21或22区,则类目数字后跟一字母D(粉尘):

Zone 20

Zone 21

Zone 22

Class 1D devices

Class 2D devices

Class 3D devices

The device is also divided into:

Class I Equipment (Mine Equipment: Classes M1 and M2) - Equipment for underground parts of mines and equipment for underground parts of Mines

Class II Equipment (Non-mining Equipment: Class 1, Class 2, Class 3) - Equipment used in other places where danger arises from an explosive environment.Production enterprises need to determine the product explosion-proof details before certification, such as:Explosion-proof type, mining or non-mining, equipment category, gas group, temperature group, equipment protection level;

2.Production enterprises confirm explosion-proof mode, usually using B+E mode, most of which are single B mode, or according to the quantity of orders, can also use single G mode.;  

When confirming that products will not be exported to the international market for the time being, we recommend a more economical way to use B mode, which is the type test approval certificate, which can meet the requirements of domestic customers and tenders.

If you need to meet the requirements of both domestic customers and the EU market, use B+E mode.That is, type test approval certificate + product quality assurance system
