Electrical Engineering:TUV AUSTRIA - Your Explosion Protection Partner | |
Danger of Explosion Do you work with chemical substances? Do you work with inflammable and burnable substances? Do you work with explosive substances? Do you develop or produce devices and installations that will be operated near explosive substances?
We support you with the selection, assessment and examination of installations that are applied in potentially explosive areas.
Electrical Installations:
Electrical installations situated in explosion endangered areas, whose parts have already been individually tested and certified, have to follow the Austrian regulation ÖVE-Ex65 with its amendments.
This is a regulation that has been implemented according to the electrical decree (Elektrotechnikverordnung ETV 2002) and therefore binding.
ATEX Directive:
The field of explosion protected devices, installations and components is covered by the new European Ex Directive called ATEX Directive (94/9/EEC; in Austria it is applied in the form of the regulation ExSV96) which is obligatory since 1. July 2003. TUV Austria has also been appointed "notified body" for this directive in the European Union.
Our Experience is your advantage:
Our engineers employ years of thorough work experience in the field of explosion protection to provide you with the best support available in most diverse situations.

Standards:
Installations that meet these requirements must be designed, produced and tested according to one of the following European standards (EN standards):
EN 50014: general regulations EN 50015: oil housing "o" EN 50016: excess pressure housing "p" EN 50017: sand housing "q" EN 50018: pressure-proof housing "d" EN 50019: increased safety "e" EN 50020: own safety "i" EN 50028: sealing housing "m"
