What ATEX is, and why it matters

ATEX (from the French Atmosphères Explosibles) is the European framework that ensures equipment used in potentially explosive environments is designed and built to the highest safety standards. In industries handling powders, granules or volatile substances — pharmaceutical, chemical, food, petrochemical — even small amounts of airborne dust can present a real ignition risk.
ATEX-compliant equipment protects operators, facilities and the wider environment from dust explosions and ignition hazards. Beyond safety, ATEX compliance demonstrates a commitment to quality, risk management and regulatory assurance — forming an essential part of any robust GMP and EHS strategy.

ATEX zones at a glance

Each Terriva system is assessed against its intended environment, ensuring the correct zone protection is achieved.

Gases & vapours

Flammable substance group

Zone 1

Explosive atmosphere likely to occur in normal operation.

Zone 2

Explosive atmosphere not likely in normal operation; short duration if it does.

Combustible dusts

Most pharmaceutical applications

Zone 21

Combustible dust cloud likely to occur in normal operation.

Zone 22

Dust cloud not likely in normal operation; short duration if it does.

How Terriva delivers ATEX compliance

Every Terriva blender is designed with operator safety and compliance at its core. Our engineering and manufacturing processes follow stringent ATEX design principles so all relevant systems — mechanical, electrical and control — are certified and safe for use in classified zones.

ATEX

Earthed & conductive components

Prevents static charge build-up across mechanical and structural assemblies.

Explosion-rated motors & sensors

Certified electrical components rated for the intended zone classification.

Dust-tight containment

Sealed designs minimise the risk of airborne particle escape and ignition.

Conformity documentation

Full documentation pack and testing evidence under Directive 2014/34/EU.

Why this matters for your operation

Operator safety assured

Equipment certified for the environment it operates in — no improvisation, no exposure gaps.

Uptime maintained

Compliant equipment runs continuously — no shutdowns from inspection gaps or non-conformity.

Regulatory readiness

Documentation, marking and conformity evidence ready for audit and inspection at all times.

Insurance integrity

Certified equipment supports your Employers Liability and operational risk position.

Risk management strategy

Compliance forms a core part of any robust GMP and EHS strategy — not an optional extra.

Demonstrated quality commitment

Sends a clear signal to regulators, customers and partners about your operational standards.

Regulatory note

ATEX classification is environment-specific. Each Terriva system is assessed against its intended zone — Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22 — to ensure the correct protection level. Our compliance engineers can review your facility’s classification and advise on the right equipment specification.

ATEX-rated equipment available across the range

ATEX configurations are available for Pharmatech blenders, Containment Solutions Flexisieves and bespoke engineered systems.
