2.2 ATEX direcve implicaon
This equipment is designed to meet the requirements of Group II Category 3 equipment
in accordance with Direcve 2014/34/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of
29th March 2014 on the approximaon of the laws of the Member States concerning
equipment and protecve systems intended for use in potenally explosive
atmospheres. (The ATEX Direcve)
The ATEX Category 3 applies in respect of potenal ignion sources internal to the
equipment. An ATEX Category has not been assigned in respect of potenal ignion
sources on the outside of the equipment as the equipment has not been designed for
use where there is an external potenally explosive atmosphere.
There is no potenal source of ignion within the pump during normal operaon but
there may be potenal sources of ignion under condions of foreseeable and rare
malfuncon as dened in the Direcve. Accordingly, although the pump is designed to
pump ammable materials and mixtures, operang procedures should ensure that
under all normal and reasonably foreseeable condions, these materials and mixtures
are not within explosive limits. Category 3 is considered appropriate for the avoidance of
ignion in the case of a rare malfuncon which allows ammable materials or mixtures
to pass through the pump whilst within their explosive limits.
