These requirements, which are found within two related European directives: ATEX 94/9/EC and 1999/92/EC, became mandatory on July 1, 2003.The first regulates equipment manufacturers, and the second regulates workplace owners and /or users of the above mentioned equipment. Note, as of July 1, 2003, ATEX 94/9/EC replaces current directives 76/117/EEC, 79/196/EEC and 82/130/EEC. |

TÜV SÜD experts can assist manufacturers in the education process of classifying their products to equipment type, equipment category and other classification requirements found within the directive 94/9/EC, the relevant EN standards for electrical and non electrical equipment, and the requirements coming from customers of manufacturers (e.g. zones) related to the Directive 1999/92/EC.
As a EU Competent Body, TÜV SÜD, and its partners are able to validate the products' design and issue the required type approval to annex III or a single approval to annex IX of the directive 94/9/EC.
TÜV SÜD also takes care of the (for category 1 and 2) required product and/or quality system conformity to annex IV, V, VI, or VII of the directive 94/9/EC
