Atex Sensors for Hazardous Environments
The ATEX directives outline specific requirements for mechanical components to control the risk of explosive atmospheres. These directives include an ATEX Workplace Directive and an ATEX Equipment Directive. Both directives encompass requirements for environments for explosive atmospheres.
Intrinsically safe or encapsulated OEM sensors are built to comply with the rules of ATEX 214 Directive 2014/34/EU (formerly ATEX directive RL 94/9 EG. When used in potentially hazardous locations, these OEM sensors will not cause ignitions, and therefore are allowed in explosive areas. Our ATEX OEM sensor technology is available for all the zones defined within the standard.
