ATEX Lighting (Explosive Atmospheres)
Safety in industrial environments where there is a risk of explosion is non-negotiable. Our ATEX solutions comply with Directive 2014/34/EU and provide certified equipment to operate in zones where the presence of combustible gases, vapours or dusts is constant or likely.
Classification and Technical Certification
The design of our ATEX luminaires focuses on ignition prevention through flameproof enclosures and increased safety construction:
- Zone Classification: Equipment suitable for Zone 1, Zone 2 (Gases) and Zone 21, Zone 22 (Dust).
- Temperature Classes: Certifications from T1 to T6 to suit the ignition point of each chemical substance.
- Construction Materials: Copper-free aluminium alloys and tempered glass diffusers resistant to thermal shock.
Comparison of ATEX Zones
| Zone | Risk of Explosive Atmosphere | Luminaire Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Zone 1 / 21 | Likely under normal conditions | High protection (Ex d, Ex eb) |
| Zone 2 / 22 | Unlikely or for short periods | Standard ATEX protection (Ex nR) |
FAQs: ATEX Safety
What does "Ex d" protection mean?
It is a flameproof enclosure designed to contain an internal explosion and prevent it from being transmitted to the surrounding atmosphere.
Is preventive maintenance mandatory for these luminaires?
Yes. According to EN 60079-17, ATEX installations must undergo periodic inspections to ensure that the seals and safety gaskets have not degraded.
