Abstract
The ATEX 114 directive (formerly ATEX 95) defines the requirements that equipment and products used in hazardous areas must meet. This directive applies to the manufacture of equipment and products and is mainly applicable to manufacturers. The directive has been included in the Commodities Act. Because the directive applies to the entire European Union, equipment and protective systems can be used throughout the EU. Thus ATEX 114 contributes to the free trade within the EU.
