Technical guide for selecting ATEX-certified electronic equipment in Peruvian hydrocarbon facilities. Zone classification, OSINERGMIN requirements, available communications equipment and sensors.
ATEX is the European designation (Directive 2014/34/EU) for equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres, with IEC 60079 as the underlying technical standard, recognized by OSINERGMIN in Peru. Critical for: Peruvian refineries, natural gas operations, long-haul gas pipelines, loading terminals, and petrochemical plants.
Zone 0: explosive atmosphere continuously present (>1000h/year). Zone 1: occasional in normal operation (10-1000h/year). Zone 2: unlikely in normal operation (<10h/year).
