Safety regulations for Ex-approved products in potentially explosive
atmospheres
Description of ATEX
The ATEX directives are a specification enforced in Europe for electrical and non-electrical
equipment. ATEX deals with the control of potentially explosive atmospheres and the
standards of equipment and protective systems used within these atmospheres. The relevance
of the ATEX requirements is not limited to Europe. You can apply these guidelines to
equipment installed in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
Guidelines for compliance
Compliance is only fulfilled when the pump is operated within its intended use, for example
