在实现ATEX认证的复杂世界中,可以容易地陷入此类项目的复杂性并忽视基本面。yabo官网入口通过回答两个简单的问题来拯救自己的时间和金钱 - 什么可以通过ATEX和IECEX认证,以及适用于特定产品的标准?

在设计和制造产品时,您将熟悉相关标准至关重要,因为这将有助于避免在此过程中测试时的任何故障。

在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. Such environments include work areas that contain flammable gases, mists or vapors, or combustible dusts.

应用前标记的制造商可以在欧盟内的任何地方销售其产品,而无需进一步提出所涵盖的风险。

元素’sATEX and IECEx testing and certification expertsprovide you with advice on which products need to be certified under ATEX, or IEC, and to meet any other relevant standards. We can help you create a single test certification program that accommodates any additional testing.

什么是ATEX认证?yabo官网入口

ATEX Certification is a product regulation which ensures the safety of equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres in the European Union. Certifying your products to ATEX helps improve the 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.

Iecex和Atex之间有什么区别?

Iecex.certification is a worldwide scheme based on compliance with IEC standards that facilities international trade while ATEX is a mandatory scheme based upon compliance with specified essential requirements within the EU.

What is EN 60079 and how does it relate to ATEX certification?

The EN 60079 series of standards were put in place to test electrical equipment and assemblies that pose an ignition risk going into potential explosive atmospheres, with specific standards relating to specific protection concepts.在这里阅读更多

What are the protection concepts and the ATEX Zone?

保护概念是定义的方法和方法,制造商作为其特殊预防措施的一部分适用,以减少点火的可能性存在于可接受的水平。ATEX区域是用于在具有不同危险程度之间进行分类的危险区域。

您的产品应测试的保护概念和ATEX区域由您自己或由市场驱动而确定。

Do all materials in ATEX Zones need to be ATEX certified?

ATEX certification requirements vary depending on the category of equipment and the zones of the equipment’s intended use.

We perform ATEX testing on materials, such as air powered drills or turbine assemblies that are going into an ATEX Zone and can potentially generate and store a static charge. These tests give you confidence in the materials used and the pace of mind. However, as they pose no actual ignition risk in themselves, the products cannot be ATEX certified. For example, with a plastic bucket, although there could be a small buildup of static, the bucket in itself cannot cause a spark or discharge and therefore would not be a risk.

How do I certify non-electrical equipment for use in explosive atmospheres?

All non-electrical equipment that poses an ignition risk needs to be covered by the ATEX Directive and will refer to standards EN 80079-36:2016 and EN 80079-37:2016. Typical non‐electrical equipment which may present a potential danger include motors, gear units, air powered drills, turbine assemblies valves, and rollers.

We highly recommended that you design non-electrical products in line with these standards to avoid serious difficulties trying to amend and alter a product after prototypes have been finalized.在这里阅读更多

How do I certify an ATEX product that I have not manufactured?

When certifying a product over which you have no design control, it is essential to find out whether the product or material that it’s made of has been altered in the design process. If this is the case, manufacturers must confirm that any alterations made fall within the limitations of the standards that a product had initially been certified to. Even then, you may still require to perform an amount of additional testing. Because of this, certifying a product bought off the shelf from another company is extremely difficult and verges on impossible if you do not have a close working relationship with them.
