ATEX Standards Updates
Aug 11 2011
Author: Sira Certification on behalf of Sira Environmental Ltd
In 2007, the EN 50014 series of technical standards began to be withdrawn and, in their place, superseded by EN 60079 counterparts which align more with their IEC equivalents. This has an impact on manufacturers of ATEX products certified to EN 50014 series, who have a requirement to ensure that compliance is maintained in line with current requirements. Four years on and products certified to EN 50014 standards are still available on the market, leading to some confusion over whether such products must be re-certified to the newer harmonised standards, or whether the products are still acceptable to be used in “Hazardous Areas”. To help clarify the issue, Sira’s Certification Manager, David Stubbings, discusses the recent changes in technical standards and the points you need to know in order to comply with the Directive.
