ATEX is the name commonly given to the framework or legislation and guidance for controlling explosive atmospheres and the standards of equipment and protective systems used in them. Therefore this legislation will apply to filters when used in these potentially hazardous environments.

Amazon Filters Limited is a leading designer and manufacturer of filter vessels and has prepared two Technical Papers to help filter users with their risk assessment and in meeting their legal obligations.

• Technical Publication TP011, ATEX classification of Filter Housings provides detailed information on ATEX and filter vessels.
• Technical Publication TP012 Meeting The Requirements of European ATEX Directives provides an excellent overview on managing the requirements of ATEX for filter vessels, cartridges and packaging.
