ATEX stands for “atmospheres explosible” and covers equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive environments. Any equipment that is going to be sold in Europe must meet these standards. Equipment Group I, II and III is mining, surface industry and surface dust, respectively. Equipment Group 1, 2 or 3 stands for hazard present continuously, 10 to 100 hrs/annum or less than 10 to 100 hrs/annum, respectively. For example, customers shall not use monitors with Ex II 2G for applications where hazardous gases are present continuously.
The POLI product line joins the UNI and UNI 321 single gas detectors along with the NEO photo-ionization detectors, which both received ATEX certification in 2019.
