In today’s market equipment is often required to be compliant with several Directives. To assist clients with meeting multiple Directives Velosi, in association with TRL has developed a system whereby the conformity processes for the PED and ATEX can be combined so that clients can make a significant saving on assessment time and ensure compliance to both Directives. If a Quality Module is selected it is also possible to combine certification of the Quality Management system to ISO 9001.

The ATEX Directive was in a transition period since 1994 and become mandatory in July 2003 such that any product placed on the European market from 1st July 2003 for use in potentially explosive atmospheres must be compliant with the requirements of the ATEX Directive.

The ATEX Directive requires a manufacturer to ensure that both the product complies and that the systems are in place to ensure continued compliance during normal production.

The Directive principally applies to electrical equipment. However, with the inclusion of non-electrical equipment and equipment for use in dust explosive atmospheres in the ATEX Directive (not included in previous Directives), a whole new set of requirements and standards have been (and are continually) introduced.
