Overview

ATEX Directive 94/6/EC

 

The ATEX Directive 94/6/EC is a European CE Mark directive concerning products

 

that are designed for use in potentially explosive environments. This “New

 

Approach” directive is based on, and is an expansion of, European Norms (EN,

 

CENELEC standards).

 

On June 30, 2003, the ATEX (ATmospheres EXplosibles) directive will replace

 

directives currently in effect, and from that time, only products with the ATEX

 

certification and with ATEX labeling will be approved for free movement in the EU

 

(European Union) and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries. As

 

defined in the directive, “free movement” refers to:

 

− placing a product on the market, and/or

 

− placing a product into service.

 

The ATEX Directive 94/6/EC is a living (set of) document(s), subject to further

 

change and refinement, whose details are beyond the scope of this addendum.

 

Further information can be obtained in the Official Journal of the European

 

Communities No L100/1, and in related publications such as Guidelines on the

 

Application of Directive 94/9/EC. Both of these items are available at:

 

http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/atex/index.htm

 

Products that have been previously certified under the EN and CENELEC European

 

Norms, and which comply fully with all standards in the New Approach directive

 

have, by application, received certification under ATEX Directive 94/6/EC.

 

The Honeywell ST3000 Smart Pressure Transmitter is now ATEX certified, and all

 

units manufactured currently and in the future will include labeling that includes all

 

markings required under the ATEX directive.
