Zone and Product Classification according to ATEX
This product does not have any ignition source and is therefore not subject to ATEX-Directive
2014/34/EU. Operation in an ex-zone (e.g. zone 1) is therefore possible.
In accordance with legal requirements, the ATEX zone definition around the product and creation of
an explosion protection document comes under the responsibility of the "responsible person of the
company" where the product is placed as this classification is subject to the cleaning fluid used and
various conditions such as ventilation.
However, at this point the operator should be supported with general advice to comply with this ob-
ligation. Helpful advice can also be found in EN 12921‐1 and ‐3 and EN 13463
-1.
If using the product with flammable fluids, the following zone designation can be applied:
Zone 1
→
The mixing and working area
Zone 2
→
Surroundings within 1.0 m
Mark the different zones with appropriate warning and prohibition signs. Markings on the floor can be
helpful. In the area surrounding the product, open flames and other ignition sources (e.g. welding or
grinding equipment) are not allowed. In addition, smoking is prohibited. Temporary work causing igni-
tion sources must be approved in writing and appropriate additional safety measures must be applied
(e.g. remove all combustible materials; firefighting equipment must be on hand in the working area.)
