Entecon’s ATEX Design Approach
We achieve ATEX compliance by applying these guiding principles:
01
Technical support from a leading Notified Body, TUV
02
All designs are aligned with relevant EN 60079 series standards and customer specific risk assessments.
03
Electrostatic dissipation via continuous earthing and effective earth bonding.
04
Mechanical Integrity via controlled clearances and low friction designs to reduce the risk of hot spots or sparks.
05
Dust Containment using the principal of “Enclosure” to reduce dust release and minimise the risk of secondary explosions.
06
Correct Equipment Selection
-
Typically ATEX Category 2D equipment for Zone 21 and ATEX Category 3D equipment for Zone 22.
-
Supported with appropriate documentation and certification.
