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.
