ID 21668 | 10.04.2024

ATEX ADCO Recommendation - Dry installed pumps - Requirements according to explosion protection of dry installed pumps conveying inflammable liquids. Status: 27.03.2024

This document is the result of a discussion in the group in which the market surveillance authorities responsible for the ATEX Directive co-operate throughout Europe (ATEX ADCO).

The objectives of the administrative co-operation are:

- To facilitate the uniform application of Union harmonisation legislation within their area of Directive 2014/34/EU with a view to increase the efficiency of market surveillance throughout the internal market.
- To inform each other of national market surveillance methods and activities and to develop and promote best practices.
- To identify issues of shared interest relating to market surveillance and suggest common approaches to be adopted.
- To exchange views.
- To solve practical problems.
- To establish and coordinate common projects, such as cross-border joint market surveillance activities.
- To exchange information on market surveillance interventions.
- To harmonize the findings of the market surveillance actions.
- To harmonize the quality of the market surveillance actions.

A recommendation of ATEX ADCO aims to inform economic operators and other interested parties as well as market surveillance authorities about the view of the members of ATEX on the application of the Directive 2014/34/EU in a particular case. It is not intended to overrule the ATEX 2014/34/EU Guidelines which are the official guidance document of the EU Commission on the application of
the ATEX 2014/34/EU Directive. The recommendation is a more detailed explanation of a question based on the statements in the ATEX 2014/34/EU Guidelines. Neither the ATEX 2014/34/EU Guidelines nor the recommendations of ATEX ADCO have a legal binding force. The legal binding force is restricted to the ATEX 2014/34/EU Directive itself.

When emptying storage tanks, storage vessels or tanks filled with flammable liquids, the parties involved repeatedly have different interpretations of the same facts in practice. Likewise, it is often difficult to find a consensus regarding responsibility for compliance with legal and safety requirements.

This document is dealing with the different approaches and shows possible solutions that can be taken without compromising safety to manage the emptying process safely. This document does not apply to products already placed on the market.

“Dry installed pumps” e.g., positive displacement pumps or centrifugal pumps, means, that they are not submerged. This document aids in assigning requirements to equipment (categories) according to the probability of the occurrence of explosive atmospheres for pumps used to convey flammable liquids. The probability of the occurrence of explosive atmospheres is determined by the employer (operator) during the risk assessment in accordance with Articles 4 and 8 and Annex I point 2 of Directive 1999/92/EC (zone classification).
