The aim is to implement technical and organizational solutions through guidelines, regulations, standards, and technical regulatory documents applicable to the area, which aim to prevent explosions and/or minimize the harmful effects of potential explosions, enabling safe operation and work in the case of hazardous technologies relevant from an explosion protection perspective.

What is ATEX

ATEX stands for ATmosphère EXplosibles (from the French explosive atmosphere). It has previously merged two EU directives to define environments where there is an atmospheric explosion hazard. The Directive sets Member States the responsibility for protecting the health and safety of persons, in particular workers and, where appropriate, domestic animals, and property on their territory against hazards arising from the use of equipment and systems to protect against potentially explosive atmospheres.

Explosion protection design, installation, and operation are based on the following methods:

1. Eliminating or excluding the substance(s) causing the explosion hazard, or limiting the amount of the combustion-supporting medium
2. Excluding possible ignition sources from the explosion hazard area in the case of the formation of an explosive medium
3. Containing and, if necessary, reducing the effects of a foreseeable explosion within controlled limits
