The series of mentioned procedures are based on the harmonized European norms, adopted in Romania, which are included in SREN 13463 standard series and deal “Non electrical equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres”. The assessment procedures are elaborated and implemented into Product Certification Body INSEMEX OEC, notified at Bruxelles for ATEX Directive. Also, the testing procedures are elaborated and implemented into Laboratory for Testing in Explosive atmospheres LIEx. The new tools for assessment of non-electrical equipment could be applied to mining equipment classified in group I, categories M1 and M2. Up to now, our institute for mining safety and explosion proof protection has developed facilities for the following types of protection: - Protection by flow-restricting enclosure (fr); - Protection by flame-proof enclosure (d); - Protection by constructional safety (c).
