Appendix 1

It is up to the Member States to ensure, where appropriate, the safety and health of animals and goods in their territory, where appropriate, of the safety and health of animals and their health, in particular in the case of the risks arising from the use of equipment and products ; the explosive systems in explosive atmospherspher;

Whereas it is binding in the Member States which determine the level of safety of equipment and insurance systems for use in explosive atmospheres ; normally this is the characteristics of both electrical and non-electrical species, having an impact on the construction and manufacture of the equipment used in the area of explosive territory ;

Whereas the requirements to be met by the materials are not the same in the different Member States as regards scope and control procedures ; these differences create barriers to intra-Community trade ;

Whereas the harmonisation of national legislations is the only way to eliminate these barriers to free trade ; each Member State may not meet this objective in a satisfactory manner ; in this Directive, only requirements are laid down ; required for the free circulation of the equipment in force for which the Directive applies ;

the provisions for removing the technical barriers to trade must follow the new method provided for in Council Resolution of 7. In May 1985, essential safety requirements and other requirements to be laid down must be laid down in the general interest, without reducing the current justified levels of protection laid down in the Member States ; this resolution contains provisions ; that a whole series of products must be dealt with in a single directive to prevent the transposition of the directives too often or that a number of directives are adopted ;

Whereas the existing directives on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electrical equipment for the use in explosive atmosphers have been the beginning of a positive development in the protection of the explosion, by means of : Whereas measures relating to the manufacture of the equipment concerned and have contributed to the removal of technical barriers to trade in this area ; at the same time, it is necessary to carry out a review and an extension of the existing provisions ; Directives, as from a global point of view, it is particularly important to remove all potential ; hazards related to the material. In particular, this means that, at the design and construction of the design, precautions must be taken to ensure effective protection of users and third parties ;

Whereas it is often a question of hazards, protective measures and testing methods which are consistent, or even identical, for the equipment used in mines and above ground ; it is therefore necessary to ensure that the equipment and security systems of the two groups are treated ; a single Directive ;

Whereas the two categories of equipment referred to above are used in the field of a variety of trade and industrial sectors and are of significant economic importance ;

Whereas compliance with the essential health and safety requirements is an absolute prerequisite for ensuring that the material and security systems are safe in use ; these requirements have been divided into general requirements and additional requirements, as materials and whereas the additional requirements have been in particular to take account of the existing or potential hazards ; it follows that the material and the security systems must comply with one or more of these requirements where this is ; required so that they can function satisfactorily or in order for them to be used in accordance with the provision ; Whereas the concept of use after determination is essential for the protection against explosions of equipment and insurance systems ; it is essential that the manufacturer ' s information is complete ; it is also necessary to make it clear on the material. whereas it is clearly stated how it is to be used in explosive atmospherspherspher;

Whereas there are plans to draw up a Directive on the basis of Article 118 A on work in explosive atmospheres ; this additional Directive will include explosion risks in connection with the use and / or installation and method of installation and method ;

Whereas the essential health and safety requirements are essential in order to be able to ensure that a material is safe in use ; the requirements must be implemented with care, in other words. both taking into account the existing technological level when the material is produced and the technical and economic conditions ;

Whereas this Directive is therefore only essential in order to make it easier for manufacturers to prove that the essential requirements are met, harmonised standards at European level, in particular those relating to them, are required. non-electrical aspects of the protection against explosions, both in the design, construction and testing of the material, as compliance with these standards ensures that the product is supposed to be in conformity with those concerned ; essential requirements ; these harmonised standards at European level are drawn up by : Whereas private law bodies and must retain their status as non-compulsory provisions ; in this respect the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (CENELEC) are recognised as being ; bodies competent to adopt the harmonised standards in accordance with the general guidelines for the cooperation between the Commission and these two bodies, which was signed on 13. in November 1984, a harmonized standard is understood by a standard technical specification (European standard or harmonisation document), adopted by one of these bodies or both by a mandate from the Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Commission ; with Council Directive 83 /189/EEC of 28. Whereas, in March 1983, an information procedure with regard to technical standards and regulations and in accordance with the abovementioned general guidelines ;

Whereas legislation needs to be improved in order to ensure that employers and workers contribute effectively and appropriately to the standardisation process ; this improvement should be implemented at the latest when the Directive is implemented ;

Whereas, in the light of the inherent risks inherent in the use of equipment in explosive atmospheres, it is necessary to establish procedures for evaluating conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive ; these procedures shall be designed on the basis of the risk-based, Whereas, as a material representative and / or systems are to protect the immediate ambient environment bravery, each of the conformity of the product must be supplemented by an appropriate procedure or a choice between several equivalent procedures ; selected procedures shall be fully equivalent to Council Decision 93 /465/EEC of 22. July 1993 on the modules for the various phases of conformity assessment procedures and rules on the affixing and use of the CE conformity marking, in order to apply the directives on technical harmonization ;

Whereas the Council has stipulate that the CE marking must be carried out either by the manufacturer or by his authorised representative established within the Community ; the marking means that the product complies with all the essential requirements and the evaluation procedures in the latter ; Community provisions applicable to the product ;

it is appropriate for the Member States to be laid down in Article 100a (a) of the Treaty. 5 may take interim measures in order to restrict or prohibit the placing on the market and use of equipment and ship security systems, provided that these constitute a special risk to the safety of persons and, where appropriate, the safety of livestock or goods, provided that they are ; whereas such measures are subject to a Community control procedure ;

Whereas the reasons for a decision pursuant to this Directive must be notified to those of the decision to which the decision is intended, as well as to the notification of the means of appeal to them ;

The Council adopted the 18. In December 1975 Framework Directive 76 /117/EEC on electrical equipment for use in explosive atmosphers and 15. February 1982, Directive 82 /130/EEC on electrical equipment for the use in explosive mines in explosive mines ; immediately at the start of the process of harmonisation, it was planned to modify the rational and partial harmonisation to which these directives are concerned ; whereas it is based on total harmonisation ; this Directive covers the scope of application of the aforementioned Directives and the Directives in question should therefore be repealed ;

Whereas the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured ;

a transitional system must be established in such a way that the products produced under the national rules applicable at the time of adoption of this Directive may be marketed and taken into use ;
