ATEX Labeling

Working in hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapors, mists, or dusts are present requires specific safety measures. ATEX labeling is a technical identification system that informs users about the explosion protection features of equipment. This label helps ensure the safe selection and use of equipment in potentially explosive environments. All ATEX certified products need to have an ATEX label explaining the criteria that it meets. The downloadable sheet below explains the labeling structure with examples to clearly understand the ATEX labeling.
