ATEX products are differentiated from standard products by their markings, most noticeably the recognised Ex symbol. All associated sales literature, data sheets and other information will be similarly marked. Colours may differ depending upon where they are used.

Under The ATEX/IECEx schemes, products are classified and marked to show the areas in which they can be used, and the level of protection employed. For Straightpoint Ex products, the classifications are currently as follows:

ATEX – II 1 G

IECEx – ia IIC T4 Ga

See section Equipment Marking for explanation.

The IECEx logo may also been seen in literature and other documents.

The new Radiolink Plus-ATEX loadcells and the Handheld Plus have been assessed and certified as being fully compliant with ATEX and IECEx. The manufacturing processes have also been assessed and certified as compliant with both Standards. See Appendix II.

Sales & Marketing Strategy

The strategy behind introducing ATEX products is:

In response to demand from existing customers and others in established market places for products that can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres;

To develop new market places where lifting and load monitoring operations are conducted in potentially explosive atmospheres;

To consolidate and enhance our credibility in the home and international markets by being able to provide products that meet the specific Standards for using equipment in hazardous environments.

In the European Union (EU) and USA, all electrical/electronic or mechanical equipment used in explosive, or potentially explosive atmospheres, must be manufactured to strict standards to ensure that the possibility of the equipment to cause explosion, in both normal and abnormal operation, is minimised. This includes equipment being designed with appropriate safety devices and protection systems, and being manufactured and tested under controlled conditions. Compliance has to be verified by recognised third party professional bodies.

In the EU, the ATEX Directive defines technical and management systems requirements for compliance. In the USA and other international regions, similar requirements are specified by the IECEx scheme. See section ATEX & IECEx.

There is an accelerating growth rate for ATEX/IECEx approvals, principally driven by the upward demand for energy and growth amongst developing and emerging economies, and their increased awareness of the need for “Proof of Compliance” with minimum safety standards.

The ATEX/IECEx certification approves the Radiolink Plus – ATEX for use in flammable gases, vapours and mists. It is not approved in potentially explosive dust environments. Neither is it approved for use in coal mines.

In addition the Radiolink Plus - ATEX version is:

Designed for onshore and offshore oil and gas, chemical and other industries operating in potentially explosive atmospheres

Approved for use in hazardous zones 2, 1, & 0

Uses easily sourced extended life Energizer® Ultimate Lithium AA batteries

The information in this document is for information only and should not be used to form part of any sales contracts as individual applications may have particular safety aspects. Assessment of risks is ultimately the responsibility of the end user.

Like the standard Radiolink Plus, the ATEX version benefits from the following features:

Can be used for static and dynamic load monitoring, and as part of real time simultaneous data logging of up to 100 telemetry loadcells

Environmentally sealed to IP67/NEMA6

Use of the latest IEEE 802.15.4 (2.4 GHz) technology for high integrity error free wireless data transmission

Explosive Atmospheres

Under ATEX and IECEx, an explosive atmosphere is defined as a mixture of dangerous substances with air, under

atmospheric conditions, in the form of gases, vapours, mist or dust in which, after ignition has occurred, combustion

spreads to the entire unburned mixture.

Atmospheric conditions are commonly referred to as ambient temperatures and pressures. That is to say

temperatures of –20°C to 40°C and pressures of 0.8 to 1.1 bar.

Potentially explosive atmospheres can typically be found in industry sectors as:

- On shore and offshore oil and gas rigs;

- Petrochemical refineries;

- Fuel distribution depots;

- Oil and gas pipeline installation, repair and maintenance;

- Chemical and pharmaceutical industry;

- Mining;

- Building, construction and civil engineering in hazardous environments;

- Producers and users of solvents, paints, varnishes and other flammable liquids;

- Printing and textiles;

- Food manufacturers, wood processors, grain handling & storage - where dusts are created;

- Engineering where dusts are created from machining, grinding and sanding.

Organisations that operate within these and other industry sectors are obliged to assess their business activities to identify potential explosive atmospheres and to implement control measures to reduce the possibility of inadvertent explosion. Measures include using only Ex approved equipment. In the EU, this is a legal obligation.

See section EU Directives.

ATEX & IECEx

ATEX is The European Regulatory Framework for Manufacture, Installation and Use of Equipment in Explosive Atmospheres (denoted by Ex).

It came into force in 2003, and was enacted in the UK by statutory Instrument (SI) 2002: 2776. It was called DSEAR (The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations of 2002), and implemented both the ATEX and the Chemical Agents Directive (98/24/EC).

The name ATEX comes from the French title of the 94/9/EC EU Directive: Appareils destinés à être utilisés en ATmosphères EXplosibles, which is concerned with explosive atmospheres.

There are actually two EU directives that relate to potentially explosive atmospheres and although the subjects they deal with are different, they have links that allow both of them to work together:

1999/92/EC - Concerned with Classification of Hazardous Areas and the correct selection, installation, inspection and maintenance of Ex Equipment;

94/9/EC - Concerned with the manufacture and sale of Ex Equipment

IECEx is the International Electrotechnical Commission Scheme for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment

for Use in Explosive Atmospheres.

ATEX is driven by EU law whereas IECEx is a voluntary certification scheme. Both however, provide an accepted

means of proving compliance with IEC standards.

The difference between ATEX and IECEx is initially that ATEX is only valid in the EU and IECEx accepted globally.

EU Directives

EU Directive 1999/92/EC, also known as ATEX 137, and commonly referred to as the Workplace Directive, sets out the responsibilities of the employers (Not manufacturers) for implementing minimum health and safety requirements for the protection of employees at risk from explosive atmospheres in the workplace.

It requires that where the risk assessments identify workplaces as likely to be hazardous areas or explosive atmospheres, that the areas are classified into zones:

Zone 0 – where an explosive atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods;

Zone 1 – where an explosive atmosphere is likely during normal operations;

Zone 2 – where an explosive atmosphere is unlikely, but where it does occur, that it will only exist for a short period.

These are for gases/vapours. There are similar zones 20, 21 and 22 for dusts.

Once zones have been identified and classified, any equipment with a potential ignition source (electrical and non-electrical) must comply with EU Directive 94/9/EC relating to each of the zone classifications in which it is being used.

The Directive also specifies other controls for working in the various zones. These include:

The identification of zones with Ex signs at all points of entry;

The use of a Permit to Work system within Ex zones;

Provision of suitable PPE, including anti-static clothing;

Provision of hazardous area awareness training;

Maintaining records relating to the risk assessment/zone classification, inspections, training and other pertinent records.

Figs.1 and Fig. 2 are examples of warning signs used to warn of entry into an ATEX hazardous zone. Warning signs also sometimes will have a distance on them to show far it is before the zone is entered.

The “Category 1” on the sign in Fig. 2, denotes the category that equipment must be for use in the zone. This will be covered in the next section.

EU Directive 94/9/EC, also known as ATEX 95, and commonly referred to as the Equipment Directive has, as its aim, is to allow the free trade of 'ATEX' equipment and protective systems within the EU by removing the need for separate testing and documentation for each Member State.

It applies to both electrical and non-electrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, which may be gas, mist, vapour or dust, above or below ground.

The directive defines essential health and safety requirements (EHSR) that need to be achieved by the manufacturer of the equipment. This usually involves testing and certification (ATEX EC-Type and/or IECEx Certificate of Conformity) by a 'third-party' certification body (known as a Notified Body) but manufacturers/suppliers can 'self-certify' equipment intended to be used in less hazardous explosive atmospheres (Category 3).

Certification ensures that the equipment or protective system is fit for its intended purpose and that adequate information is supplied with it to ensure that it can be used safely.

The directive requires that the equipment is marked to show equipment complies with the ATEX directive.

The directive also introduces categories of protection, which can be related to the zones classified by the workplace ATEX directive.

Other Standards

Many countries have regulations concerning both the design and use of equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres, and these may differ. These regulations have, however, become increasingly harmonized within the framework of IEC recommendations and European Standards. National requirements might still need to be met for final approval of installation in, for example, Russia, Brazil, Australia or Japan, but they generally relate to one of the main standards below.

− IEC: International Electrotechnical Commission

− EN: European Norm

− NEC/CEC: National Electrical Code / Canadian Electric Code (500 or 505) in North America

Technical Standards

Both ATEX and IECEx both require compliance with the same technical standards, so in terms of technical content, there is basically no difference. Only visible difference is in many cases the marking on the device.

IEC (The International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard IEC 60079 is a suite of Standards that cover a wide standards relating to different types of equipment and protection measures in explosive atmospheres.

The applicable technical standards within this suite for Straightpoint ATEX/IECex products are:

IEC 60079-0 Explosive Atmospheres - Part 0: Equipment - General Requirements

This Standard specifies the general requirements for construction, testing and marking of electrical equipment and Ex Components intended for use in explosive atmospheres

IEC 60079-0 Explosive Atmospheres - Part 11: Equipment by Intrinsic Safety

This Standard specifies the construction and testing of intrinsically safe apparatus intended for use in an explosive atmosphere and for associated apparatus, which is intended for connection to intrinsically safe circuits which enter such atmospheres. This type of protection is applicable to electrical equipment in which the electrical circuits themselves are incapable of causing an explosion in the surrounding explosive atmospheres

IEC 60079-0 Explosive Atmospheres - Part 25: Intrinsically safe Electrical Systems

This Standard contains the specific requirements for construction and assessment of intrinsically safe electrical systems, type of protection "i", intended for use, as a whole or in part, in locations in which the use of Group I, II or III apparatus is required. This standard supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0 and the intrinsic safety standard IEC 60079-11

“Intrinsic Safety” is a protection technique applied to electrical equipment and wiring for hazardous locations. The technique is based on limiting electrical and thermal energy to a level below that which can cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture

ISO/IEC 80079-34:2011

ISO/IEC 80079-34:2011 specifies particular requirements and information for establishing and maintaining a quality system to manufacture Ex Category 1 and Category 2 equipment including protective systems in accordance with the Ex certificate. It is compatible with the objectives of ISO 9001:2008.

Compliance with this standard is required before ATEX/IECEx can be manufactured for sale into the market place. Notified Bodies issue certificates to verify compliance after on site assessment of our production systems. They carry out on-going assessments similar to our existing ISO9001 assessments.

For ATEX, the compliance certificate is referred to as a Quality Assurance Note (QAN)

For IECEx, the certificate is a Quality Assessment Report (QAR)

See Appendices.
