  • ATEX
    img
    ATEX is a commonly used synonym for the ATEX directives of the European Union. The name is derived from the French term "ATmosphère EXplosible". The directive en-compasses explosion protection directives 2014/34/EU for equipment and 1999/92/EC for work areas. ATEX directives are devised by the Director General of the EU commission Enterprise and Industry in cooperation with the member states, standardization organi-zations (CEN, CENELEC) and so called "Notified Bodies" such as BAM, PTB, or TUEV to name examples from Germany.
  • EAC (TR-CU-EX)

This also affects equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. As part of this change, the GOST-R Explosion protection certificate was replaced by the new technical regulation TR CU 012/2011 "On the safety of equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres".
  • IECEx
    img
    IECEx is an internationally used process to certify electrical equipment used in hazar- dous locations. The code defines a system to classify locations potentially explosive atmospheres caused by gases, dusts, or fibers for example. The main goal of the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC with the IECEx regulation is to reach global harmonization of codes governing use of electrical apparatus in hazardous locations. IEC promotes mutual acceptance of evaluations and reports among the testing labs and certifying bodies.
  • INMETRO

  • IP66
    img

    IP66 stands for Ingress Protection and denotes the protection of the device against environmental factors, dust and rain for example, as well as protection of living beings against dangers of touching high voltage circuits for example. The first digit categorizes ingress of solid objects, the second ingress of water:

    IP6x = dust proof

    IPx6 = water jet proof

    (with specifies water pressure etc.)

  • UL
    img
    UL is an independent organization that tests and certifies products with regards to safety. UL tests and evaluates compliance of products, components, materials, and sys- tems against specific requirements. As a re- sult the UL mark can be carried as long as the standards are complied with.
