Hi,
anyone who has experience with ATEX (Equipment and Protective systems intended for use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Directive 94/9/EC) certification of the quality system?
We are ISO:9001 certified, but we aim to extend our QMS also to meet extended/modified requirements of EN 13980.
Hmm...I've done a lot of research, but still I miss the concrete examples of things that must be done/modified in our system to meet the ATEX requirements.
Any help / examples / tips would be very appreciated.

Best regards,
Monika G

ATEX is essentially a product certification scheme. One division of my company certifies products in accordance with the directive. I can provide some helpful contact details if you need. In terms of ISO 9001 it is essentially a conformity of production system.

Paul,
there are different kind of ATEX certification - it might be product certification only (conformity of product), but it is usual to certify according to "Product quality assurance" which include the Quality System. In this case is ISO:9001 a base, but not enough. There are additional requirements on your quality system according to EN13980 which you must fulfill.

I am interested in HOW people do in order to meet those requirements - it is a sort of artificial requirements for me....

Do you know if you have adapted/delveloped your QMS to meet those specific requirements?

Best regards,
Monika
