ATEX Components

ATEX components need to comply to standards according to EU Directive ATEX (ATmosphère EXplosive). This explosion protection applies to nonelectronic components of machinery and systems since 1995, as well. The ATEX EU Directive contains two directives for explosion protection, one product directive (94/9/EG) and one operation directive (1999/92/EG). European countries are obliged to transfer ATEX directives into national law.
