The Directive states that the manufacturers of equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres shall draw up a written declaration of conformity of these products.
How are the ATEX zones classified?
The term “ZONE 1” indicates an area where an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture of air or flammable substances (gas, vapour or mist) is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally.
The term “ZONE 2” indicates an area where an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture of air and flammable substances (gas, vapour or mist) is not likely to occur in normal operation. If it does occur, it will persist for a short period only.
