The Directive controls the design of any equipment intended for use in potentially explosive environments.
Although the new rules naturally cover oil, gas, mining, chemical and pharmaceutical applications, many other less obvious areas where gas or dust-laden atmospheres are present will also be affected such as cereals, food, paper and wood processing.
To comply with the ATEX requirements, any piece of equipment must be designed to minimise the risk of ignition when used in such an environment.
