ATEX comes from the French term “ATmosphères EXplosibles” and is a European certification which confirms that it complies with European safety directives for equipment. The certification ensures that the device is designed and tested to prevent ignition risks caused by sparks, high temperatures or electrical faults. This makes it suitable for use in hazardous industrial environments such as chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, refineries, and dust-prone manufacturing units.
