Abstract/ Foreword

The processing, transport and storage of flammable materials in the form of dust generates an explosion risk due to the possibility of initiating potentially explosive atmospheres created by dust suspended in air with various ignition sources, some of which may be their own installations. As explosions can cause human casualties and severe property damage, the explosion risk assessment and the application of appropriate measures by manufacturers and users of installations to prevent the ignition of explosive atmospheres is of particular importance for the safety and health of persons and goods.
This paper deals with both technical and procedural aspects related to the risk assessment for belt conveyors for bulk materials, with reference to the requirements of European directives and applicable standards.
There are two European Directives, so-called ATEx Directives, which regulate the placing on the European market of products intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and their safe use: Directive 2014/34/EU and Directive 1999/92/EC. The paper presents some aspects regarding the border situations where the two directives apply, in the case of assemblies of equipment to be assessed by a manufacturer in accordance with the Directive 2014/34/EU for putting on the market and the installations that are equipment assembled by the user under his responsibility and have to be assessed by users in accordance with the Directive 1999/92/EC requirements.
