RoHS Compliance

EX Certification for Explosion Protection Equipment

RoHS Compliance Definition
The definition and aim of the RoHS directive is quite simple. The RoHS directive aims to restrict certain dangerous substances commonly used in electronic and electronic equipment. Any RoHS compliant component is tested for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). For Cadmium and Hexavalent chromium, there must be less than 0.01% of the substance by weight at raw homogeneous materials level. For Lead, PBB, and PBDE, there must be no more than 0.1% of the material, when calculated by weight at raw homogeneous materials. Any RoHS compliant component must have 100 ppm or less of mercury and the mercury must not have been intentionally added to the component. In the EU, some military and medical equipment are exempt from RoHS compliance.

EX Certification for Explosion Protection Equipment
The EX logo is a marking for explosion protection equipment. It indicates that the equipment or system complies with the harmonised standards necessary to meet the requirements of the 94/9/EC Directive (ATEX product Directive, named after the French "ATmosphere EXplosible").

The ATEX product Directive 94/9/EC became mandatory throughout the EU on 1 July 2003 along with the user Directive 1999/92/EC which covers the installation and use of Ex equipment. Previous Directives were repealed as of that date.

The products covered by the ATEX Directive are divided into different groups and categories and marked accordingly. Group I equipment is suitable for mining applications underground where methane may be present. Group II equipment is suitable for all surface applications including shipping and offshore.

The areas where an explosive atmosphere may present are termed Hazardous Areas and divided into Zones, based on how long and how frequently the explosive atmosphere is likely to be present. Category 1 equipment may be used in Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas. Category 2 equipment may be used in Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas. Category 3 equipment may be used in a Zone 2 area only. Certification by a Notified Body is mandatory for equipment that is used in Zone 0 and Zone 1 hazardous areas.
