ATEX is the European Directive for governing health and safety in explosive environments.
For instrumentation to be used in an area where explosive gases or dust are or maybe present, it must first be approved by a recognised body such as SGS Baseefa or CSA Group and then installed with other ATEX approved equipment, appropriate to the level of protection required for the installation.
