What are ATEX and DSEAR?
• ATEX is the name given to the two European Union
Directives for controlling explosive atmospheres and
the suitability of equipment and protective systems
used in them.
• The Dangerous Substances and Explosive
Atmospheres Regulations, 2002 (DSEAR) places
duties on employers to eliminate or control the risks
from explosive atmospheres in the workplace. It is the
UK's implementation of the European Union ATEX.
• 'ATEX' certified equipment is marked by the 'EX'
symbol to identify that the equipment it is fit for its
intended purpose and that adequate information is
supplied with it to ensure that it can be used safely.
