Zones, categories and what the certificate actually covers

ATEX is the collective term for two EU directives: 2014/34/EU governing the equipment, and 1999/92/EC governing the workplace. Certified equipment is designed and tested not to act as a source of ignition. Every machine in this category is third party certified and complies with EN 17348:2022.

The internal zone is the one that gets overlooked

EN 17348 introduced the concept of the internal ATEX zone. Inside the collection system itself the dust concentration is far higher than in the surrounding room, so the interior of the machine is classified in the same way the workplace is. A machine marked Zone 22 externally may be Zone 20 internally. It is that combination which determines whether the machine may in fact be used where you intend to use it.

Accessories are part of the certification

EN 17348 explicitly covers hoses, couplings, nozzles and filters. They form an integral part of the certified system rather than loose parts. A certified machine fitted with an uncertified hose is not a certified system.

When ATEX and OEB apply to the same compound

Many highly potent active ingredients are also combustible. The two sets of requirements then arise together, and the machine must be both certified for the zone and closed enough for the OEB level of the compound. This is one of the most frequent reasons a purchase goes wrong: one of the two requirements is discovered too late.

Zone classification can change

If production volume rises or ventilation deteriorates, an area can be reclassified. Equipment not certified for the new zone must be withdrawn from service immediately. That is worth weighing when choosing between an uncertified and a certified model for an area close to the threshold.

If you are unsure about your zone classification, consult an explosion safety adviser before purchasing. We are glad to help translate the classification into a concrete choice of machine. contact us.
