data-end=\"401\">In the valve and actuator industry, ATEX compliance begins with correct design and certification. All electrical and mechanical components \u2014 such as solenoids, limit switches, and positioners \u2014 must be approved for use in explosive atmospheres. Any potential ignition source, including metal-to-metal friction or static discharge, must be eliminated or strictly controlled to prevent explosion risk.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"403\" data-end=\"788\">Manufacturers are required to document full compliance with the ATEX 114 directive and confirm that every product is suitable for its intended zone classification. Each valve or actuator must be delivered with an EU Type Examination Certificate, a technical file and user manual in the local language, CE and Ex markings, and clear information on temperature limits and zone ratings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"1350\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In daily operation, maintaining ATEX compliance relies on disciplined procedures. The installation area should be classified by a qualified expert. Equipment must match the correct ATEX code, zone, and gas or dust group. Documentation and markings should always be verified before installation. Only certified technicians may perform service or maintenance, and no modifications should be made to ATEX-certified equipment without formal re-approval. These practices ensure continued safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance in all explosive environments.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f5f5f5;border-radius: 10px;padding: 24px;font-family: 'Inter', Arial, sans-serif;color: #000;max-width: 650px\">\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 600;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 8px\">Get in contact with Mads Kongshaug<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.5\">Contact <a style=\"color: #e50000;text-decoration: none\" href=\"mailto:mk@moduvalves.com\">here<\/a>\nor on direct number\n<a style=\"color: #e50000;font-weight: 600;text-decoration: none\" href=\"tel:+4565997021\">\n+45\u00a065\u00a099\u00a070\u00a021\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 40px\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-efbc125\" data-id=\"efbc125\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed18f38 elementor-align-right btn-red elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ed18f38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/moduvalves.com\/product-category\/modu-innovations\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Innovations<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a77f58 elementor-align-right btn-red elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1a77f58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/moduvalves.com\/contact\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Talk to us<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make it better.
