What Are ATEX Electrical Installations?

ATEX installations involve the design and installation of electrical equipment specifically approved for use in hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapours or dusts may create an explosive atmosphere.

These installations must:

  • Use ATEX‑rated equipment
  • Match the correct zone classification
  • Follow strict installation methods
  • Maintain equipment integrity
  • Comply with BS EN 60079 standards

ATEX installations are required in:

  • Chemical plants
  • Fuel storage & distribution
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Food & grain processing
  • Pharmaceutical sites
  • Waste management plants
  • Paint, solvent & spray environments

If your site contains explosive atmospheres, ATEX‑compliant installations are a legal requirement.
