What is ATEX certification
ATEX Certification is a product regulation that ensures the safety of equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in the European Union.
In the European Union, all equipment with a potential ignition source (electrical or mechanical) including protective systems, must meet ATEX requirements for the health and safety of workers employed in hazardous atmosphere installations. Certifying your products to ATEX helps improve safety and protect the health of workers potentially at risk from explosive environments such as those found in the petrochemical industries, underground mining, or food production.
