The articles of this certificate primarily contain some rules and precautions to prevent a possible explosion. There are also articles about what to do if an explosion occurs. The word comes from French and means explosive atmospheres. It is mandatory to obtain this certificate in places where all kinds of explosive and flammable materials are produced or found.
Explosive Protection Document
Workplaces wishing to obtain ATEX certification must first prepare a document containing some precautions to protect against explosives and the rules of which are specified in the official gazette. To prepare this document, the conditions of the factory or facility are arranged. First of all, a prohibited area is determined in the facility. How much this region will spread depends on the production conditions and various characteristics.
All explosive substances in the facility and their different properties are determined and transferred to the document. The map of the prohibited zone is removed and added to the document. This document and ATEX certificate are mandatory for every place where different chemicals are found, produced or transferred, especially at gasoline and natural gas filling stations.
Who Prepares the ATEX Certificate?
