Zone 22 – ATEX 3D conversions; We also provide lift truck conversion solutions for other hazardous areas. EXPLOSION PROTECTION FOR CRANES, ACCESS PLATFORMS, SCRUBBER DRIERS For Cherry Pickers, scissor lifts, cranes, access platforms, scrubber driers, tractors and more, Pyroban provides ATEX compliant conversions for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22. Electrical equipment intended for use in Zone 2/22 (ATEX Category 3) do not need to undertake the EC Type-examination certification route that is required t for Category 1 & 2 electrical equipment and therefore do not need to use a notified body. Instead, compliance is achieved by 'self-declaring' that the equipment is compliant. AText 2.22 Released on. New Advanced Sync feature, support multi-user environment.

The Explosion Protection regulations
When electronic or electrical equipment of any type is intended for use in a hazardous area, the equipment must be ATEX certified as required by the EU directive 94/9/EC. This directive is more commonly known as the ATEX directive (from the French: ATmospheres EXplosives). Within Europe ATEX certification of products for use in potentially hazardous atmospheres is compulsory.
Hazardous areas exist where a potentially explosive mix of air and flammable gasses or air and dust or air, dust and gasses may occur. You can find all of our ATEX approved products suitable for hazardous areas on our website.
Outside of the European Union similar regulations apply under the IECEX certification system. In North America products must be listed by UL as suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres. Please note that while the ATEX and IECEX certification system are similar, the North American approach is different; see area classification below.
Scope
ATEX certification of products for use in potentially hazardous atmospheres is compulsory.
Classification of equipment
The ATEX directive classifies equipment into groups and categories which are defined by the marking on the equipment – see 'Product marking' below.
Classification of an area
Hazardous areas are divided into Zones (European and IECEX method) or Classes and Divisions (North American method) according to the likelihood of a potentially explosive atmosphere being present.
| European & IECEX classification | Definition of zone or division | North American classification |
| Zone 0 (gases) | An area in which an explosive mixture is continuously present or present for long periods | Class I Division 1 (gases) |
| Zone 20 (dusts) | Class II Division 1 (dusts) | |
| Zone 1 (gases) | An area in which an explosive mixture is likely to occur in normal operation | Class I Division 1 (gases) |
| Zone 21 (dusts) | Class II Division 1 (dusts) | |
| Zone 2 (gases) | An area in which an explosive mixture is not likely to occur in normal operation and if it occurs it will exist only for a short time | Class I Division 2 (gases) |
| Zone 22 (dusts) | Class II Division 2 (dusts) |
Product marking
The ATEX directive requires the product to be marked with the CE mark, the ‘EX' mark and the
equipment coding as per table below.
| Heading | Mark | Use |
| Explosion proof | in accordance with the ATEX directive | |
| Equipment Group | I | For use in underground mines |
| II | For use in all other places | |
| Category | 1 | Equipment that is intended for use in areas where an explosive atmosphere is present continuously, for long periods or frequently |
| 2 | Equipment that is intended for use in areas where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation and must ensure a high level of protection. | |
| 3 | Equipment that is intended for use in areas where an explosive atmosphere is unlikely to occur in normal operation and must ensure a normal level of protection. | |
| Gas / Dust | G | Equipment certified for use in flammable gases |
| D | Equipment certified for use where dust is present in the atmosphere | |
| Type of Protection* | d | Flameproof |
| Ia | Intrinsically Safe | |
| e | Increased safety | |
| Gas Group | I | Mines |
| II | Surface above ground industries | |
| Gas Sub Group | A | Less easily ignited gases e.g. propane |
| B | Easily ignited gases e.g ethylene | |
| C | Most easily ignited e.g. hydrogen or acetylene | |
| Temperature Classification Hazardous area apparatus is classified according to the maximum surface temperature produced under fault conditions at an ambient temperature of 40°C, or as otherwise specified. The standard classifications are as shown | T1 | 450ºC |
| T2 | 300ºC | |
| T3 | 200ºC | |
| T4 | 135ºC | |
| T5 | 100ºC | |
| T6 | 85ºC |
* There are 8 methods of protection, for simplicity we have listed the 3 most commonly used.
Product marking example
An ATEX approved electrical product is marked with the following code: Virtualdj pro 8 0 0 2483 download free.
| II 2G Eexd IIB T4 |
From the breakdown of the code below it can be seen that the product is flameproof,suitable for use in zone 1 surface applications where gas group B gases may be present and the surface temperature of the product under fault conditions will not exceed 135 ºC.
| Explosion proof in accordance with ATEX | |
| II | Equipment group: II surface industries. |
| 2 | Category: 2 equipment ( suitable for use in Zone 1) |
| G | Gas / Dust: Suitable for atmospheres containing gas |
| E | European certificate in accordance with harmonised standards |
| Ex | Explosion-proof electrical equipment |
| d | Type of protection is ‘Flameproof enclosure' |
| II | Gas Group II – surface industries |
| B | Gas sub group = B |
| T4 | Temperature class T4 |

iPC-Series- High Performance Industrial PCs
IECEx / ATEX Zone 2/22 Approved
By their nature many processes in the manufacture of chemicals & petrochemicals invariably produce hazardous environments; similarly grain processing and manufacturing processes such as Automotive Paint Shops have areas where a potentially explosive atmosphere can exist. The IECEx / ATEX Zonal System defines the level of hazard and the technical level of compliance that equipment operating within the Zones is required to meet to ensure safe operation.
Correctly installed in an IECEx / ATEX Zone 2 & 22 enclosure Nematron Panel PCs & Monitors can be placed directly in the hazardous environment thus avoiding the need for expensive custom built explosion proof enclosures.
