Mechanical equipment testing and approval based on ATEX Directive
Unique value proposition (UVP)
According to ATEX Product Directive (2014/34/EU), equipment and protective systems to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres must fulfil the required safety level. This implies that they need to be assessed to ensure they will not become ignition sources and protect against the consequence of explosion. Gexcon can help you with testing for ATEX mechanical equipment:
- Testing of protective devices and systems to obtain an ATEX approval - Testing of equipment for EX-zones 0/20, 1/21 & 2/22 - Tests to determine the electrostatic properties - Drop and mechanical impact test We have tested pumps, valves, cutting tools, surface treatment equipment, explosion venting panels, flameless venting systems, explosion suppression systems, explosion isolation systems, flame arresters, etc.
Key Benefits
- Achieve ATEX compliance and avoid penalties by securing necessary approvals through targeted testing of protective devices and systems.
- Increase safety in hazardous environments by confirming equipment suitability for specific EX-zones, thereby reducing ignition and explosion risks.
- Lower operational costs by detecting potential equipment failures early through detailed testing of electrostatic properties and mechanical impact resistance.
