ATEX Directive 2014/34 / EU Testing and Certification

EUROLABprovides testing, analysis, product inspection and certification services within the scope of ATEX Directive 2014/34 / EU.

ATEX Directive 2014/34 / EU Testing and Certification

Electrical and non-electrical equipment designed for use in workplaces potentially at risk for explosive atmospheres must provide a safety level appropriate to the installation site. All EU countries require CE and ATEX marks on products used in explosive atmospheres. The use of harmonized EN standards gives the manufacturer a basis for "assumption of conformity" for "Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs)" and a declaration of conformity (DoC) for the ATEX Directive.

EUROLABprovides testing, certification and product inspection services within the scope of the ATEX Directive and the IECEx Certified Equipment Programme. We carry out expert assessment of the conformity of your products to help you ensure explosion protection and compliance with the requirements required to obtain approval for different Community Mark (Ex in hexagon), CE Mark and other international markets.

EUROLABis one of the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) that can provide continuous testing, certification and product inspection services under the ATEX Directive for products intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

EUROLABoffers uninterrupted testing, certification and product inspection services within the scope of the ATEX Directive with its innovative Harmonized International Ex Test Programme. The program aligns testing processes, engineering skill sets and management to ensure a consistent approach to obtaining all approvals recognized for potentially explosive atmospheres and hazardous locations.

In addition to ATEX and IECEx certifications, we also provide hazardous location certification for the USA and Canada. EUROLABcan conduct research in accordance with the current EN standards simultaneously with the USA and Canada certification project.

Our single-source testing and certification capabilities, local expertise in major world markets, and global coverage can help you dramatically reduce the certification process, helping you achieve approvals in weeks rather than months.

The following types of products are covered by the ATEX Directive:

Equipment and Protective Systems that can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres; Safety devices, control devices and regulatory devices intended for use outside potentially explosive atmospheres, but necessary or contributing to the safe operation of equipment and protective systems in terms of explosion risks; Components that are defined as any item that is necessary for the safe operation of equipment and protective systems but does not have an autonomous function.
