The ATEX certificate is used to prove compliance with the requirements for minimizing the risk of explosion. Explosive atmospheres include mixtures of gases, vapors, mists or dusts with atmospheric air capable of combustion by ignition.
Our potential customers include rock mining and processing companies, the oil refining industry, the space industry and many others.
Anti-explosion systems are an important part for the safety of people, health as well as businesses.
Equipment environments can have one type or a combination of several types of explosion protection.
For electrical equipment intended for operation in explosive gas environments:
- “d” – flameproof enclosure
- “e” – increased protection
- “i” (ia, ib, ic) – intrinsically safe (intrinsically safe circuit)
- “m” (ma, mb, mc) – compound sealing
- “nA” – non-sparking equipment
- “nC” – contact device in flameproof enclosure, or hermetically sealed device, or non-sparking component, or hermetically sealed device
- “nR” – containment with restricted passage of gases
- “nL” – equipment containing limited energy electrical circuits
- “nZ” – overpressurized enclosure
- “o” – oil-filled sheathing
- “p” (px, py, pz) – dusting or blowing of the overpressurized shell
- “q” – quartz filling of the shell
- “s” – special type of explosion protection
For electrical equipment intended for operation in explosive dust environments:
- “t” (ta, tb, tc) – sheath protection
- “i” (ia, ib) – intrinsic safety (intrinsically safe electrical circuit)
- “m” (ma, mb, mc) – compound sealing
- “p” – filling or blowing of the shell under overpressure
- “s” – special type of explosion protection
For non-electrical equipment intended for operation in explosive atmospheres:
- “c” – structural safety
- “b” – control of ignition source
- “k” – liquid immersion protection
- “d” – protection by flameproof enclosure
- “fr” – protection by gas-restricted enclosure
- “p” – overpressure protection
