The unit is marked as follows:
The type approval procedure to di-
rective 94/9/EC or 2014/34/EU was
carried out by Bureau Veritas (No.
2004) as the notified body. The design
concept, manufacture, quality assur-
ance and the unit itself were subjected
to the specified examinations. There is
a copy of the “EU Type approval exami-
nation certificate”
EPS 15 ATEX 1 05 X

After 8000 switching cycles, the unit
must be checked by the manufacturer.
Failure to do so invalidates the explo-
sion proof approval.
