Overview explosion-proof products

Dear Sir and Madam,

Protecting people from the dangers of an explosion is the focus of the European Parliament’s ATEX product guideline for the legal use of equipment and protective systems in explosive areas. It stipulates uniform and compulsory regulations on how products used in explosive areas can be marketed in the entire European region.

Explosive areas are areas in which mixtures of gases, vapours, mists or dusts could ignite under certain operating conditions.

The building operator is responsible for explosion prevention and all associated continuous risk assessment measures. The operator is also required to complete compulsory documentation. Here, compliance is substantially simplified and made more secure using products with ATEX certification. Your advantages:

• Easier analysis of risks
• Simpler selection of suitable equipment
• Quality assured compilation of the explosion protection documentation
• Regular updating with less complexity and thus lower costs

According to “ATEX 95”, manufacturers of equipment or systems are obliged to manufacture their products accordingly and safeguard this process by means of a required conformity evaluation procedure.

SCHAKO offers a comprehensive range of ATEX-certified products, ensuring planning dependability and legal protection for their use with the following product lines:

• Fire safety flaps
• Damper flaps
• Particle filter units
• Multi-leaf dampers
• Mechanical volumetric flow controllers
