Atex service

TÃœV SÃœD Product Service has introduced its ATEX Safety Service to reassure component and machinery manufacturers that their equipment complies with European Directive ATEX 95 - 94/9/EC and will be safe to use in potentially explosive environments. Manufacturers that use the service will reduce time to market for new products and ensure that existing items can continue to be sold legally.

This is because as a Notified Body, TÃœV SÃœD can offer product certification of both electrical and non-electrical equipment under the ATEX Product Directive.

The service will also support users of machinery who operate a processing facility in a potentially explosive environment. They must comply with ATEX 137 - 99/92/EC (ATEX Workplace Directive) to reduce the risk to their workers in the explosive atmosphere.
