Atex Manual Hoist requirement information
Atex zones are areas designated areas where there is a potentially explosive atmosphere present where precautions must be taken following legislation and good working practice to reduce / eliminate the risk of an explosion. Please see extracts here from the European Commission Enterprise and Industry ATEX guidelines June 2009 section 5.2: Examples for equipment not covered by Directive 94/9/EC: "In general, many simple mechanical products do not fall under the scope of Directive 94/9/EC as they do not have their own source of ignition." And also "Manufacturer will need to consider each item in turn with respect to potential ignition hazard" and finally "Other examples that in most cases have no potential ignition source are" "Equipment moved only by human power, a hand operated pump, hand powered lifting equipment, hand operated valves"
Do You Need Anti-sparking Features with manual Lifting Equipment?
It is the customer’s responsibility to specify their anti-sparking requirements for Atex lifting equipment and Atex hoists. For hand chain hoists and monorail trolleys to be used in potentially explosive areas / atmospheres such as Zone 1 or 2, LiftingSafety can offer hand lifting hoists with anti-sparking features as specified by the customer. Anti sparking features on lifting hoists (Atex hoists) will make the crane more suitable for use in a potentially explosive environment!
