Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book details how safety (i.e. the absence of unacceptable
risks) is ensured in areas where potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) can
arise. The book also offers readers essential information on how to comply with
the newest (April 2016) EU legislation when the presence of ATEX cannot be
avoided.

By presenting general guidance on issues arising out of the EU
ATEX legislation – especially on zone classification, explosion risk assessment,
equipment categorization, Ex-marking and related technical/chemical aspects –
the book provides equipment manufacturers, responsible employers, and others
with the essential knowledge they need to be able to understand the different –
and often complicated – aspects of ATEX and to implement the necessary safety
precautions. As such, it represents a valuable resource for all those concerned
with maintaining high levels of safety in ATEX environments.
