ATEX Consultancy

We manage your machine's ATEX process from start to finish

The ATEX 2014/34/EU Directive applies to equipment, protective systems and components intended for use in explosive atmospheres. Correctly determining the zone classification, equipment category and protection method from the outset forms the foundation of both safety and the certification process.

At SAFETEST, we assess your machine's scope, the environment it will be used in and its risks together with you; we coordinate every step on your behalf, from electrical and mechanical design to the technical file, and from laboratory testing to the notified body process.
