An ATEX certification program allows equipment manufacturers to offer solutions that guarantee the safety of workers in explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres – for example, where work activities may release flammable gases or vapours or in locations handling fine organic dusts. Areas at risk must be assessed and classified into identified zones. Further information is available from https://www.hse.gov.uk/fireandexplosion/atex.htm#where .

Re: traceability. It is a requirement of ATEX certification that we keep a record of and contact information for end users where ATEX certified units have been installed. As a particular requirement progresses, we will ask for a form to be completed to confirm and clarify salient details.

Re: maintenance. It is also a requirement that ATEX certified Dosatron units must be returned for Hingerose (at the user’s cost) for maintenance / repairs involving replacement of component parts. We can also discuss this in more detail.

ATEX certified Dosatron units are supplied to order rather than ex-stock – please contact us to discuss price & availability details.
