1 Quick Introduction to: DANISH TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE The Danish Technological Institute is a self-owned and not-fprofit institution. We develop, apply and disseminate research- and technologically-based knowledge f the Danish and International business sects. As such, we participate in development projects, which are of use to society in close collabation with leading research and educational institutions both in Denmark and abroad. On top of this, we carry out consultancy and standardisation services, which contribute to a dynamic and harmonious development of society. ATEX Certification Danish Technological Institute s department Certification & Inspection is an independent accredited inspection body in Denmark (Notified Body - ExNB) f electrical and none-electrical equipment Ex-equipment (Notified Body nr. 0396) and is authised to issue ATEX certificates f equipment to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres (Ex atmospheres). Danish Technological Institute can issue the following certificates in accdance with Directive 04/34/EU: EU Type Examination Certificate in accdance with Appendix III EU Unit Verification Certificate in confmity with Appendix IX EU Product Verification in confmity with Annex V Internal Production Control in confmity with Appendix VIII Equipment f use in flammable atmospheres Directive 04/34/EU ATEX - GUIDE A sht introduction to ATEX Terminology Danish Technological Institute Gregersensvej 630 Taastrup Denmark Telephone Direct contact: Steen Christensen: Jakob Nittegaard:
2 What is Ex-equipment / areas? Electrical non-electrical equipment used in an area where there is a risk of presence of a flammable atmosphere (gas dust) - are popularly called Exequipment equipment f use in Hazardous Areas. Ex-equipment are typically used in places like: The chemical industry Oil refineries Off she installations (platfms) Filling stations Tunnels/ sewers/ drains Milling industry/ printing-house / painting industry Farmer s installations Mining industry Scope of the ATEX Directive 04/34/EU The Directive covers Electrical and Non-electrical equipment! Equipment : Machines, apparatus, instruments, fixed mobile devices, control components and so on. Protective systems : e.g. equipment that can stop delay an explosion Components : Essential parts f the safety but with no autonomous function. Safety control and regulation equipment intended to be used outside the Ex-area - but with a function, that secures the safety in the Ex-area. Frequently used Standards - (not complete) Electrical / Non-Electrical Installation Quality Requirements etc. Protection Principles (Gas areas) Standards General Requirements EN Oil Immersion o EN Pressurized Apparatus p EN Powder Filling q EN Flameproof Enclosure d EN Increased Safety e EN Intrinsic Safety i EN Encapsulation m EN Field Bus Concept (FISCO) EN Laser Optics/radiation EN Intrinsically Safe Systems EN Zone 0 Standard Equipment with equipment EN protection level (EPL) Ga Zone Standards: Type n Protection EN Dust Standards Dust General requirements EN Protection by intrinsic id EN Encapsulation in dust md EN Protection by enclosure td EN Construction & test Classification of dust areas EN Non-Electrical Basic concepts and methodology EN 7- Basic Requirements EN / EN Non-electrical protection principles EN to -8 / EN engines EN 834- Petrol filling stations EN 30 ATEX Quality Requirements EN Installations EN Installations/Inspection/maintenance EN Equipment repair, overhaul, and reclamation EN Classification of hazardous areas EN Places to find Ex-infmation / current Harmonized Standards:
3 Example of Zone Classification (Filling Station) Exclusions from the ATEX Scope Medical devices intended f use in medical environment. Equipment and protective systems intended to f use in relation with unstable chemical substances. Equipment intended to f use in domestic and non-commercial environments where flammable atmosphere is only a result of accidents. Personal protective equipment covered by Directive 89/686/EEC. Seagoing vessels and mobile offshe units together with equipment on board such units. Means of transpt i.e. vehicles, trailers, planes used f transptation. (Vehicles used in potential explosive atmosphere are not excluded).
