Explosive atmosphere equipment and compliance with the standards for explosive atmospheres as required by the explosive atmosphere’s directive for the European Union. The marking testing requirements for ATEX and testing and validation for these requirements have been our focus for many years now.
Contact us for support and evaluation to the ATEX standards.
Your equipment for hazardous and classified locations must be listed. In order to get through the process, you will need deep experience, like our team will provide. How we help you comply and get certified; we use our Conformity Discovery Process to work through the standards in your design to develop a gap program so that you can close those gaps as we take your product to listing. Further we can do interim testing and validation to be sure that prototypes and designs meet the requirements.
Types of Equipment that apply to this standard; oil and gas, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, chemical, and many others.
