TY - CONF A1 - Grätz, Rainer T1 - Effects of the "new" ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU - consequences for manufacturers - claims by users N2 - Directive 94/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 March 1994 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres has been substantially amended. The new ATEX Di-rective 2014/34/EU on equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres replaces Directive 94/9/EC. The new Directive was published on March 29, 2014, became enacted on April 19, 2014 and will become effective starting April 20, 2016. It was the aim of the revision to harmonize the requirements with the New Legal Framework (New Legislative Framework - NLF). The NLF consists of the following two documents: the Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008, which sets out the re-quirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products, and the Decision No 768/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008, which sets on a common framework for the marketing of products. The harmonization with the NLF especially results in a lot of new definitions and a new structure compared with the “old” ATEX. Some content which was in the annexes of the “old” ATEX is now turned into distinct chapters or articles in the main part. New content was included which comprises things like presumption of conformity, principles of CE marking, notification of conformity as-sessment bodies, Union market surveillance, and Union safeguard procedure. What is more, the definitions of the economic operators like manufacturer, distributor and importer and the description of their duties are now in separate chapters. Thus, the “new” ATEX is much bigger than the “old” one. With the publication of the Directive 2014/34/EU a lot of questions were raised especially from manufacturers. These questions include: - Did everything change now? - Does the new Directive affect essential safety and health requirements (ESHR) for equipment and protective systems intended for use in hazardous areas? - Is the module system for conformity assessment changed? - What happens with existing certificates? - What happens with products which were already produced before April 20, 2016 but will be placed on the market later? The presentation will deal with some of these questions. But it has to be stated that the essential health and safety requirements for equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres have not changed. That means: A product which was safe under the Directive 94/9/EC is still a safe product in the sense of the Directive 2014/34/EU.
