BS EN 13463 Non Electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres

This regulation covers 'Non Electrical Equipment' in Flammable Atmospheres, or more commonly known as Mechanical Equipment.

Cenelec standards can support  your requirements to comply with the scope of the BS EN 13463 which was published on January 31st 2009.

The regulation covers ATEX / CE Marked equipment and also your existing equipment that may not have been assessed previously.

ATEX Mechanical has been in the background for a few years now but now is the time to act as there are clear guidelines to work to, CSI's framework will help you demonstrate compliance.

With the ability to produce frictional sparking and static build-up from moving parts, with the risk of ignition, complying with the BS EN 13463 requirements is an essential service in the field of Hazardous Areas.

Cenelec Standards Inpections will develop a package to help you swiftly demonstrate intial and ongoing compliance through the use of the latest ATEX compliant  IT systems.
