In addition to conforming to technical standards,
“notified bodies” approvals (ATEX Directive

Individual components, sub-assemblies and
complete installations are tested and certified by
independent authorities. That certificate is the
basis for a “Declaration of Conformity,” which
assures you that all the important requirements
for explosion protection have been fulfilled.

In addition to conforming to technical standards,
“notified bodies” approvals (ATEX Directive
94/9/EC) are part of our day-to-day business.
Individual components, sub-assemblies and
complete installations are tested and certified by
independent authorities. That certificate is the
basis for a “Declaration of Conformity,” which
assures you that all the important requirements
for explosion protection have been fulfilled.
