Operating in potentially explosive atmospheres - such as areas handling flammable vapours, dusts, or solvents - requires strict adherence to ATEX standards. ATEX compliance ensures safety in Zones 0, 1, 2 (gas/vapour) and Zones 20–22 (dust) by certifying equipment designed to eliminate ignition risks. 

These regulations are governed under ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU (Equipment Directive) and the UK’s DSEAR/EPS Regulations 2016.

ATEX equipment is categorized by equipment group and category, indicating suitability for specific hazardous zones:

  • Category 1 (Ga/Da): Zone 0/20 (continuous high-risk)
  • Category 2 (Gb/Db): Zone 1/21 (occasional risk)
  • Category 3 (Gc/Dc): Zone 2/22 (rare, short-duration risk) 

Manufacturers must ensure equipment is CE-marked, bears the ‘Ex’ logo, and is assessed by a Notified Body - or self-certified for lower-risk categories - to validate performance in hazardous areas.

Below we profile three core pieces of ATEX-certified equipment from Adelphi, suited for packaging and processing in regulated zones:
