The Atex Directive covers electrical and non-electrical equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, as well as safety, control and regulating devices used outside potentially explosive atmospheres which are necessary or useful for the operation of such equipment and systems. It prescribes that products must satisfy the essential health and safety requirements set out therein.
The assessment procedures to be followed in order to demonstrate conformity depend on the category to which the product belongs, according to the classification contained in the directive and related to the level of protection that is ensured.
