About This Service

An ATEX rating assures that items, in this example an ATEX Pump, satisfy safety regulations based on the level of protection necessary. Electrical equipment must be examined to determine ATEX certification, however, non-electrical equipment can be self-certified. The certification of all ATEX pumps is determined by a number of parameters. The product, in this example an ATEX Pump, will have a code that indicates the ATEX certification. Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX) are atmospheres that generally contain a mixture of vapours, dust, or gas that might possibly ignite.



ATEX Pumps stands fo r ‘Explosive Atmospheres.’ These hazardous settings often contain a mixture of gas, vapour, and dust that, under certain conditions, can ignite. ATEX certification was implemented as a legal requirement to give a high level of protection while operating equipment to assist in limiting the possibility of explosions and increase safety procedures.



The ATEX Directive divides this equipment into electrical and mechanical goods. Electrical items must pass tests as part of their ATEX certification, although non-electrical products can self-certify. Both electrical and mechanical items require a risk assessment including operational circumstances to establish the degree of protection required, which is then clearly marked on the product, in this example an ATEX Pump.



To be an ATEX pump, a centrifugal pump’s wetted part must be made of a conductive material such as Cast Iron, Brass, Bronze, Stainless Steel, or Carbon Impregnated Plastics (e.g. PP & PVDF). The ATEX pump’s coupling element, if present, must also be non-sparking and protected by a conductive substance such as stainless steel. The electric motor must also be ATEX certified in order to ensure that no sparks or ignition sources are exposed to the hazardous zone or environment. Considerations for the sealing configurations of your ATEX Pump will also need to be made depending on process fluid and zone
