ATEX Compliant Products from Killark

Hazardous Location enclosures, including Killark’s EXB, GR and HK Series, are now certified to the ATEX (Atmospheres Explosibles) Directive. The directive specifies the requirements in the European Union (EU) for explosion protected equipment and protective systems, by prescribing essential health and safety standards.

While CENELEC Standards for design of product are used, protection within the ATEX Directive is taken to a higher level. The scope extends to dust explosion and mechanical equipment protection. Classification of the equipment has been re-organized, along with the certification and marking of it. Many non-EU countries have followed CENELEC Standards and may also require products to be ATEX Approved.

CENELEC/ATEX Approval of Killark enclosures is of vital concern to OEMs who build and ship apparatus into European markets, and also for Engineering and Construction Firms who specify and buy products for overseas installation.
