ATEX is the conventional name of the Directive 2014/34 EU for the equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
It imposes the evaluation of the risk for all the equipment operating in such environments.
It classifies several levels of "danger" (zones): to every zone it corresponds a different typology of explosive atmosphere, according to its composition and to its probability and time of appearance.
Motive gearboxes series (BOX-EX, ROBUS-EX, ENDURO-EX, STON-EX e STADIO-EX) are certified according to the norms EN ISO/IEC 80079-36, EN ISO/IEC 80079-37, EN 1127-1 for the zones 1, 21, 2 and 22
