ATEX-Directive The ATEX Directive applies to equipment, components and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The manufacturer must show that the equipment fulfils the essential health and safety requirements, which in certain cases requires the involvement of a notified body for type examination and certification of the product and the production process. The ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU for electrical equipment is implemented in Swedish legislation through the Swedish Electrical Safety Board’s ELSÄK-FS 2016:4 regulations (and associated revisions occurring). The corresponding regulations for non-electrical equipment are the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s AFS 2016:2 regulations (and associated revisions occurring). In addition to requirements for explosion protection, electrical products must fulfil other applicable requirements, such as EMC requirements and requirements set out in the Electrical Equipment Ordinance SFS 1993:1068 concerning good electrical safety practice. The ATEX manufacturer’s Directive is complemented by the 1999/92/EC User’s Directive, which specifies minimum requirements for improving the health and safety of employees who can be exposed to the risk due to explosive atmospheres. This Directive has been incorporated in Swedish law via the Work Environment Authority’s AFS 2003:3 regulations and the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency’s SRVFS 2004:7 regulations.

ATEX-Directive

The ATEX Directive applies toequipment, components andprotective systems intended for usein potentially explosive atmospheres.The manufacturer must show thatthe equipment fulfils the essentialhealth and safety requirements,which in certain cases requires theinvolvement of a notified body fortype examination and certification ofthe product and the productionprocess. The ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU for electrical equipment isimplemented in Swedish legislation through the Swedish ElectricalSafety Board’s ELSÄK-FS 2016:4 regulations (and associatedrevisions occurring). The corresponding regulations for non-electricalequipment are the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s AFS2016:2 regulations (and associated revisions occurring).

In addition to requirements for explosion protection, electricalproducts must fulfil other applicable requirements, such as EMCrequirements and requirements set out in the Electrical EquipmentOrdinance SFS 1993:1068 concerning good electrical safetypractice. The ATEX manufacturer’s Directive is complemented by the1999/92/EC User’s Directive, which specifies minimum requirementsfor improving the health and safety of employees who can beexposed to the risk due to explosive atmospheres. This Directive hasbeen incorporated in Swedish law via the Work EnvironmentAuthority’s AFS 2003:3 regulations and the Swedish CivilContingencies Agency’s SRVFS 2004:7 regulations.
