ATEX

ATEX is a safety certification for equipment and protection systems used in explosive atmospheres within the European Union. This certification is essential to ensure the safety of equipment in workplaces where explosive substances such as gas or dust are present. ATEX is an important European directive that ensures manufacturers and workplaces comply with safety regulations, aiming to protect workers and prevent accidents in hazardous environments.
