ATEX Explosive Atmospheres for the EU

The explosive atmospheres directives point a number of IEC 60079 standards. The standards for ATEX Explosive Atmospheres  in many cases are harmonized with the explosive atmospheres directives for the European Union. Allow for support you through design, conformity and testing to achieve an ATEX approval and marking for your equipment.

Call us to develop your equipment to obtain ATEX certification.

Explosive atmosphere equipment and compliance with the standards for explosive atmospheres as required by the explosive atmospheres 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.
