 ATEX Directive 94/9/EC
ATmospheres EXplosibles
• All electrical and mechanical products placed in the EU
after July 1, 2003 for use in explosive atmospheres (gas
and dust) must comply with the ATEX directive.

• The applicable design standards for the ATEX Directive

are outlined in the Official Journal of European Union
(OJEU).

• The gas design standards are the CENELEC

EN 60079 Series, which have replaced the
EN 500XX Series.

 ATEX/CENELEC Standards

• CENELEC is the European Standardization

Organization responsible for many of the design
standards used within the ATEX Directive

• CENELEC co-publishes the 60079 series of

standards written by IEC Technical Committee 31
 Zone Classification
Zone 0 / 20
A location where potentially explosive gas/dust exists
continuously.

Zone 1 / 21
A location where potentially explosive gas/dust may be
present occasionally.

Zone 2 / 22
A location where potentially explosive gas/dust can be
present for short periods.
Equipment Groups and Categories
Equipment Group I : Mining
• Equipment Category M1
• Equipment Category M2

Equipment Group II : Non-Mining

• Equipment Category 1
• Equipment Category 2
• Equipment Category 3

Equipment Group III : Dust

 ATEX Directive 94/9/EC
Quality Requirements:

•A Quality Module certificate (QAN) can be thought of as a

‘manufacturing license’ for specific types of products and
must be in place before any product certificates are issued.

•The QAN certificate is specific to a location and protection

concept.
 ATEX Directive Documentation

• EC Declaration of Conformity (Equipment Certificate)

must accompany all equipment

• Attestation of Conformity (Component Certificate)

must accompany all components
 EC
Declaration
of Conformity
 Mark
• The marking is a legal requirement for products
covered by one or more of the EU New Approach Directives.
It signifies that the supplier of the product has verified that
the product complies with the requirements of the relevant
Directives.

•There are (21) Directives that require products to be

marked with the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC being one of
them.

•The ATEX Directive requires third party evaluation for

category 1 and 2 equipment before a mark can be
applied.
 Mark
• In signing the European Declaration of Conformity, the
Manufacturer or their legally appointed representative in
the EU can be liable to a fine or a prison sentence if the
product is found not to comply with the requirements of all
the relevant Directives.

• There are typically three ways a product could come

under scrutiny (challenged).
 Industrial Accident Investigation
 Area Certification/Audit
 Competitor or user question validity
 Technical File
• A Technical File is put together for each assembly built and
shipped from Adalet.

• A Typical Technical File will consist of reports and test data to

support each Directive and Standard used to show
conformance.

• In the event of a challenge, this Technical File must be made

available to the authority having jurisdiction within a reasonable
timeframe.

• File maintained for ten years after life expectancy.

Directive 89/336/EEC had to comply with this New
Directive by July 2009.
 ATEX XCPX Control Panels
Thermal Calculations

• All Electrical Equipment generates heat. The Total Heat

Load must be calculated to size the appropriate
enclosure and to assign the correct T-Rating.

• Components can be placed in any arrangement provided

the power loss is evenly distributed.

Component Arrangement

Spacing & Clearances

• Internally components cannot be mounted closer than

20mm from the left and right inside walls, 30mm from the
top and bottom inside wall, and 30mm from either the
underside of the cover or backwall of the box/mounting
pan.

• There shall be a minimum 12.7mm between components

mounted on the backwall/mounting pan and 25.4mm
between components mounted in the cover and
components mounted on the backwall/mounting panel.
 ATEX XCPX Control Panels

Component Arrangement

Spacing & Clearances

• Wire looms larger than 20mm shall be considered as a

gas flow impedance. Spacing between components
shall be increased accordingly and the cross sectional
area must be verified.
 ATEX XCPX Control Panels
Component Arrangement

Spacing & Clearances IS Components

• Internally components cannot be mounted closer than

20mm (Safe Area Side) or 50mm (Hazardous Area Side)
from the left and right inside walls and 50mm from either the
underside of the cover or backwall of the box/mounting pan.

• There shall be a minimum 12.7mm (Safe Area Side) or

50mm (Hazardous Area Side) between components
mounted on the backwall/mounting pan and 50mm between
components mounted in the cover and components
mounted on the backwall/mounting panel.
 ATEX XCPX Control Panels
Component Arrangement

Volume Check

• Components must be placed in an arrangement

providing equal heat distribution and leaving an area of
at least 40% of each cross sectional area free to permit
an unimpeded gas flow to minimize pressure piling.

Modifications/Installations
• All Drilling & Tapping and assembly must be done at the
factory, except by prior arrangement.
Why?
• The Notified Body has no evidence of the end user’s
production process and the requirement for routine hydro
testing of the enclosure.
• Adalet has the Quality Assurance Notification per Annex
VII of the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC which covers
documentation of all the necessary requirements that
covers this product.

 IECEx System Objective
• The objective of the IECEx System is to facilitate
international trade in equipment and services for use in
explosive atmospheres.

• Reduced testing and certification costs to manufacturer

• Reduced time to market

• International confidence in the product assessment process

• One international database listing

 IECEx system
• IECEx Certificates of Conformity are issued by approved
IECEx Certification Bodies (ExCBs).

• An IECEx Certificate of Conformity attests that a sample of

the Ex product has been independently tested and found to
comply with the Standards listed in the Certificate.

• It also attests that the manufacturing site has been audited to

verify that the manufacturer’s quality system meets IECEx
requirements.
Global and National Hazardous Location Standards
There are 37 Accepted Certification
Bodies (ExCBs) in the 30 countries
participating in the IECEx System

• EPL Ga - a “very high” level of protection. Not a source of

ignition during expected or rare malfunctions.

• EPL Gb – a “high” level of protection. Not a source of ignition

during expected malfunctions.

• EPL Gc – an “enhanced” level of protection. Not a source of

 IECEx Certified Persons Scheme
• Assessment. An assessment process for people meeting competency
requirements associated with the implementation of Standards for Ex
equipment. Note that IECEx itself does not offer training

• Certification. A certificate will be issued using the IECEx On-Line

Certificate System

• Certification Status. A special credit card-sized ID certification card is

issued as proof of certification status

• Assessments and Certification. These are conducted by IECEx

approved Certification Bodies, including those laid out in ISO/IEC 17024,
Conformity assessment — General requirements for bodies
operating certification of persons, and IECEx Scheme specific
requirements
