ATEX - Directive 94/9/EC
Our equipments should not be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
The Directive 94/9/EC (related to the approximation of the Member
States concerning equipment and protection systems for its use under
potentially explosive atmospheres) in its chapter I, article 1, section 4,
establish that:
"Excluded from the application ambit of this Directive are those
equipments which are destined to be used under no commercial settings where the
potentially explosive atmospheres are created in rare occasions only as
consequence of a fortuity escape of gas."
The application Directives 94/9/EC, from may 2000, establish in
the section 4.1.2. a) that:
"It is considered that an equipment only enter in the application
ambit of the Directive if it is destined (in its totality or partial) to be
used in potentially explosive atmosphere. The fact that in the interior of the
equipment deliberately, could be a potentially explosive atmosphere has no
relevance.
Indicating also:
"The products which are not destined to be use in atmospheric
conditions do no enter in the application ambit of the Directive 94/9/EC, even
though in their interior an explosive atmosphere in the atmospheric conditions
during the periods of set up, disconnection or maintenance could be formed.
This would be part of the evaluation of risks from the users side and could
lead to the specification of the equipments ATEX for installation of a near
recipient". |
