Today, there are two directives linked to the regulation of work in Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX in English).
The directive covering the marketing and manufacture of equipment for use in hazardous atmospheres: 94/9/EC, generally referred to as “Equipment Directive“.
The other directive, 1999/92/EC, is intended to ensure the minimum level of protection for workers in industries that use hazardous materials. It is generally known as the “User Directive“.
Inteka is partner of the international company MTL, specialized in working in this type of environment.
