Technical Data
Hoists intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres require measures to reduce the risk of explosions. Requirements
for such measures come from the European Directive 2014/34/EU. These requirements are commonly referred to as the ATEX
Directive (ATEX is from the French ATmospheres EXplosibles).
Requirements for non-electric equipment are provided in the following standards under mandate by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association. These standards provide a means to comply with the ATEX Directive.
• BS EN ISO 80079-36: Non-Electric Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres – Basic Method and Requirements.
• BS EN ISO 80079-37: Non-electrical equipment for explosive atmospheres – Non-electrical type of protection
constructional safety “c”, control of ignition sources “b”, liquid immersion “k”.
These standards supersede the EN 13463 standards, which were withdrawn in 2016.
Non-electric hoists that meet the appropriate requirements of the BS EN ISO 80079 standards and have their TCF filed with
a Notified Body satisfy the ATEX Directive and can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
ATEX-certified non-electric hoists use the “constructional safety” type of protection. This type of protection
includes the use of materials that reduce or eliminate the risk of sparks produced by impact or friction. It provides protection
against the possibility of ignition from hot surfaces, sparks and adiabatic compression generated by moving parts. This can
generally be considered equivalent to the term “spark-resistant features.”
The ATEX Directive and the BS EN ISO 80079 standards require detailed markings to assure the hoists are used correctly.
These markings define the applications, the type and duration of the potentially explosive atmospheres, the type of protection,
and the maximum surface temperature.
It is the responsibility of the equipment’s owner/operator to ensure the equipment is suitable for the explosive atmosphere in
which it will be used. The equipment’s GAS and DUST rating can be found on the Nameplate, the accompanying Declaration of
Conformity, and within the Owner’s Manual. Table 1-1 herein provides an explanation of these ratings and their meaning.
