Ringfeder Examines New EU ATEX Directive

The cut-off date has passed. The new EU ATEX Directive is now valid. Manufacturers, distributors and operators should keep themselves informed, since the old certificates are no longer valid for any products that will be newly launched onto the market. There are also amendments pertaining to operators, who themselves set up a plant or an assembly from several components, for example, with a pump, coupling and engine. The user will then be considered as manufacturer and must know the exact properties of the components used, including the coupling. For more information on what operators should know about the EU ATEX Directive, visit the Ringfeder Blog below.
