 ATEX – compliant plantsThe new ATEX – Directive rules the resposibility and the design of the plant parts. The operator of the plant is responsible for the allocation of the zone classification. The lawmaker transferred the responsibility of the EEx – confor- mity to the owner of the plants by means of the new ATEX – Directive. However, zone 0 means that all electrical and mechanical/ dynamical installations used in the vessel have to be carried out according to ATEX Zone 0. Zone 0 means that one “appointed authority“ (PTB, TÜV etc.) must test the use of all installed parts/fittings/agitators/pumps/sensors. These units have to be undergone to a EC – design test, that is that all electrical and mechanical/dynamical parts installed in the vessel must be carried out according to ATEX Zone 0. Only such units/plants are allowed which have a EC – design test certificate or the evidence has to be provided that there are no ignition sources. ________________________________________ Next Page > | |
