ATEX Directive 94/6/EC
The ATEX Directive 94/6/EC is a European CE Mark directive concerning products
that are designed for use in potentially explosive environments. This "New
Approach" directive is based on, and is an expansion of, European Norms (EN,
CENELEC standards).
On June 30, 2003, the ATEX (ATmospheres EXplosibles) directive will replace
directives currently in effect, and from that time, only products with the ATEX
certification and with ATEX labeling will be approved for free movement in the EU
(European Union) and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries. As
defined in the directive, "free movement" refers to:
−
placing a product on the market, and/or
−
placing a product into service.
The ATEX Directive 94/6/EC is a living (set of) document(s), subject to further
change and refinement, whose details are beyond the scope of this Appendix. Further
information can be obtained in the Official Journal of the European Communities No
L100/1, and in related publications such as Guidelines on the Application of Directive
94/9/EC. Both of these items are available at:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/atex/index.htm
Products that have been previously certified under the EN and CENELEC European
Norms, and which comply fully with all standards in the New Approach directive
have, by application, received certification under ATEX Directive 94/6/EC.
The Honeywell RMA 3000, Models RMA300, DM, SM & ME Remote Meter
Assemblies are now ATEX certified, and all units manufactured currently and in the
future will include labeling that includes all markings required under the ATEX
directive.
To ensure that all required information will be available to the user, the following

51452507 Revision B).
