Our Key Service for European Markets
Product Certification
Manufacturers of equipment intended for use in ‘Hazardous Areas’ within the European Union (EU) must comply with the ATEX Directive (Directive 94/9/EC). The legislation includes assessment of non-electrical (mechanical) equipment as well as electrical items.
A compliance certificate is issued after successful completion of tests and assessments to relevant European standards. This certificate enables the manufacturer to sell their equipment within their given market.
For equipment placed outside of the EU, different national standards apply and Sira has the capability to certify equipment for many international markets.
