We make it easy for companies to comply with the ATEX directive for weighing in hazardous areas. The ATEX Directive stipulates that the operator of equipment in a hazardous area must supply written conformity assessment that verifies the safety of the equipment assembly. This must include the individual characteristic values of the equipment configuration including all connecting cables. Explosion risk assessment also covers non-electrical equipment (e.g. roller conveyors).

If only Sartorius components are used in your specific weighing equipment assembly, we have already tested their compatibility and describe this in the Verification of Intrinsic Safety diagrams that are automatically supplied with Sartorius explosion-protected equipment. These diagrams consider all combinations described for the approved equipment so that you can use the appropriate set of Verification of Intrinsic Safety diagrams and instructions as part of your own explosion protection documents.

Sartorius can save you time and money in preparing your explosion safety documents
