The ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU provides for regulations regarding products that are used in an explosive environment.
The gas or dust environments are divided into three zones. A separate ATEX certification applies to all zones. Namely: gas zone 0, 1, 2 and the dust zone 20, 21 and 22.

The use of explosion-proof equipment in an explosion-hazardous environment is only possible with equipment that is correctly marked. The type plate of the device always bears a clearly legible marking regarding the safety level. The type plate is constructed as follows.

For example: II 2G Ex de IIC T4            

(A) II = Group classification as defined in 2014/34/EU
(B) 2G = Zone classification ( 2014/34/EU)
(C) Ex = explosion proof
(D) de = material type of protection (EN IEC 60079-0)
(E) IIC = gas group (or substance group in case of IIIC)
(F) T4 = Temperature class

(A) Equipment groups and categories

There are currently 2 equipment groups:
– Equipment group I concerns all underground (mining) installations;
– Equipment group II concerns all other above-ground installations.

Equipment group II is subdivided into 3 gas groups. The main difference lies in the MESG (Maximum Experimental Safety Gap) for flameproof enclosure and the MIE (Minimum Ignition Energy) for intrinsically safe circuits.

(B) ATEX zone division

In order to determine the extent to which measures are necessary to avoid active ignition sources, potentially explosive areas must be divided into zones according to the regularity and duration of the presence of explosive gas or dust.

Zone 0 or 20Gas or dust constantly presentMore than 1000 hours per year
Zone 1 or 21Gas or dust probably present occasionallyBetween 10 hours and 1000 hours per year
Zone 2 or 22Gas or dust if present for a short timeLess than 10 hours per year

(C) Ex marking

Explosion prevention mark (EX). Indication that it concerns an explosion-proof product.

(D) Protection mode

There are many ways to protect against ignition. Here are the most commonly used protection methods for gas explosion safety.

Ex d – flameproof enclosureNEN – EN – IEC – 60079 – 1
Ex e – erhöhte – increased safetyNEN – EN – IEC – 60079 – 7
Ex p – pressurization – internal overpressureNEN – EN – IEC – 60079 – 13
Ex i – Intrinsic SafetyNEN – EN – IEC – 60079 – 11
Ex n – non-igniting. Only for category 3G (Zone 2)NEN – EN – IEC – 60079 – 15
nA = non-sparking, nC = closed construction, nR = limited breathability

(E) Gas and dust groups

Gas groups

Representative gases or vapors of liquids are:

IntroductionAttributeRepresentative material
IMining gas = 210 µJMethane
IIAIgnition energy > 200 µJPropane, butane, kerosene
IIBIgnition energy 60 – 200 µJEthylene, hydrogen sulfide, ethyl ether
IICIgnition energy 20 – 60 µJHydrogen, acetylene, carbon disulfide

NB:   IIC falls within the range of IIB etc… IIC is the lowest in rank. IIC is therefore the “heaviest” version.

Dust groups

Because more and more EN (Europe Norms) are based on IEC (International Norms), we also have to deal with the new substance groups III within Europe. These are subdivided into IIIA, IIIB and IIIC. The subdivision is characterized as follows:

LayoutAttributeRepresentative material
IIIAFibers and flakes > 0.5mmTobacco, coarse sawdust
IIIBElectrically non-conductive <0.5mmMilk powder
IIICElectrically conductive <0.5mmGraphite powder

(F) Temperature classes and maximum surface temperature

When a combustible gas mixture or dust cloud comes into contact with an object with a temperature equal to or higher than the ignition temperature of this combustible gas or dust, ignition can take place. For example, heating elements, mechanical drives, electric motors and light bulbs.
Gas explosion-proof equipment is divided into temperature groups or “T-classes”. The material, which is classified in a certain temperature class, may therefore be used for gases with an ignition temperature that is higher than the temperature associated with that group.

Classification principle (standard EN 50 014):

T1Ignition temperature 450°C
T2Ignition temperature 300°C
T3Ignition temperature 200°C
T4Ignition temperature 135°C
T5Ignition temperature 100°C
T6Ignition temperature 85°C

NB:   T1 falls within the range of T2 etc… T1 is the lowest in rank. T6 is therefore the ‘heaviest’ version.

Guidelines

As of April 20, 2016, ATEX 95 has been replaced by ATEX 114 (directive 2014/34/EU) and ATEX 137 (directive 1999/92/EC) has a new name, namely ATEX 153. The names of ATEX 114 and ATEX 153 are according to the European Commission only ‘informal’ names. The correct legal names are Directive 2014/34/EU and Directive 1999/92/EC.

All new, explosion-proof equipment and protection systems must comply with the new directive from 20 April 2016.
This mainly affects the manufacturers of explosion-proof equipment and protection systems.
For example, explosion-proof equipment that meets the requirements of ATEX 114 must be marked with the ‘Ex’ sign in a regular hexagon. There is no obligation to have a yellow background here. There will be more product supervision, stricter requirements for importers and new accreditation for ‘notified bodies’.
It is important for users to know that the current ATEX 95 certificates remain valid. However, as soon as explosion-proof equipment or protection systems are modified or renewed, ATEX 114 applies.

The difference between the two directives is that ATEX 114 is applied for the manufacture of installations and products (devices CE directive) and ATEX 153 is applied to the environment, the procedures, the instructions of employees (social directive), both in Ex environments . The aim of this combination of directives is to guarantee the safety and health of employees in areas with a risk of explosion. In addition, ATEX 114 contributes to free trade within the EU for equipment and security systems used in these areas.

Frequently Asked Questions about ATEX Equipment (FAQ)

What does ATEX mean and what does it stand for?

ATEX is an abbreviation of the French term Atmosphères Explosibles. It refers to European directives for equipment that may be used in areas with gases or dust where there is a risk of explosion. When a device carries an ATEX certification, it is approved for use in such hazardous environments.

When is ATEX-certified equipment mandatory?

ATEX-certified equipment is required in workplaces where there is a risk of explosion, such as companies working with flammable materials or fine dust. Using ATEX equipment helps reduce the risk of explosions. It is not only a legal requirement but also significantly increases safety for everyone working in these environments.

What is the difference between ATEX Zones 0, 1, 2 and 20, 21, 22?

These zones indicate how frequently explosive atmospheres are likely to occur in a given space. Zone 0 or 20 means that the risk is almost constant. Zone 1 or 21 refers to environments where the risk occurs regularly. Zone 2 or 22 applies to areas where explosive conditions are only expected occasionally or for short durations. Each zone comes with specific requirements for equipment.

Which equipment falls under ATEX and which does not?

All equipment used in hazardous areas with a risk of explosion must be ATEX-certified. Examples include fans, lighting, heaters, and power supply systems. CSrental offers a wide range of ATEX-certified equipment, available directly from stock.

How do I read an ATEX marking on a product?

Every ATEX product carries a special code. This code shows in which environment the equipment may be used, what type of hazard it is suitable for, and the maximum temperature it can reach. This ensures you can determine whether the product matches your specific situation.

What happens if I use non-certified equipment in an Ex zone?

This is extremely dangerous. Equipment not designed for explosive environments may generate sparks or excessive heat, potentially leading to fire or explosions. Additionally, you would not be in compliance with legal requirements, creating risks for insurance coverage, liability, and most importantly, the safety of your employees.

Can I get advice on which ATEX solution is right for my situation?

Yes, our ATEX specialists are happy to assist you. They can advise you on which equipment fits your location, application, and zone. Feel free to contact us for tailored advice.
