Facts about ATEX

TEX is divided into two directives, both issued by the EU and implemented in Danish law.
A distinction is made between equipment and users in connection with potentially explosive atmospheres.

ATEX pumper

• ATEX-directiv 1999/92/EF atex logo zone
classification of potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX workplace directive)
• ATEX-direktiv 2014/34/EU atex logo udstyr
covers equipment requirements (ATEX equipment directive)

Areas where an explosion * may occur must be classified according to the ATEX directives. Therefore, companies that store, handle and / or produce flammable liquids, gases or dust are often covered by the ATEX directives.

IWAKI have supplied ”ATEX-equipment” to many of these industries:

  • oil and gas industry
  • kemiprodpower plants
  • paint and paint factories
  • chemical industry
  • medical industry
  • petrochemical industry
  • bread factories and bakeries
  • flour and sugar producers
  • pharmaceutical production
  • incineration plants
  • treatment plants

‘Beredskabsstyrelsen’ and ‘Arbejdstilsynet’ are the authority for the
ATEX Workplace Directive in Denmark.

1) Explosive substance (eg can be flammable vapors, flammable gases, flammable dust)
