ATEX explosion proof motors are exported to the European market

Shandong Langrui Industrial Co., Ltd., a professional manufacturer of ATEX explosion proof motors, successfully obtained the ATEX explosion-proof motor certificate in 2023. This certification officially grants Shandong Langrui's explosion-proof motor products access to the European market.

1. The Importance of ATEX Explosion-proof Motor Certification

ATEX certification, derived from EU Directive 2014/34/EU, is a mandatory certification for equipment and protective systems for explosive atmospheres. It covers all aspects of explosion-proof motor design, safety, marking, documentation, and manufacturing consistency.

Achieving ATEX certification means that Chinese-made explosion-proof motors fully comply with stringent European explosion-proof standards in terms of safety, reliability, and technical performance. This allows Chinese-made motors to be safely used in hazardous areas such as the oil and gas, chemical, mining, pharmaceutical, grain processing, and energy storage and transportation industries. It also signals that Chinese explosion-proof motor manufacturing is accelerating its progress toward international standards, helping Chinese manufacturers gain a larger share of the global high-end equipment market.

2. Major Export Target Countries

1). European countries such as Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Denmark;

2). Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates;

3). Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Malaysia;

4). As industrialization accelerates in countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, demand for high-end explosion-proof equipment that meets ATEX international certification standards will continue to grow.

3. ATEX explosion-proof motors are generally suitable for the following typical areas:

Zone 1/Zone 2: Gas explosion environments

Zone 21/Zone 22: Dust explosion environments

4. Common explosion-proof types for explosion-proof motors include:

Flameproof (Ex d)

Increased safety (Ex e)

Non-sparking (Ex n)

Dust explosion-proof (Ex t)

Currently, successfully obtaining ATEX certification has opened the door to the high-end European industrial market for Chinese motor manufacturers. As more and more Chinese motor manufacturers accelerate their internationalization efforts and promote product development towards high standards, high quality, and high added value, ATEX-certified motors will continue to gain popularity.
