FUEL DISPENSING AND
VAPOUR RECOVERY VALVES
APPLICATIONS FOR
FUEL DISPENSING SYSTEMS
To propel a vehicle, a combustible com-
pound is needed. ASCO Numatics is
well known as solenoid valve supplier
for the dispensers as the combustible
compound is:
• Petrol
• Diesel (including vapour recovery)
• Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
• Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
With its wide range of solenoid valves,

ASCO Numatics is the market leader
in fuel dispensing and vapour recovery
technology. Working with leading fuel
pump manufacturers, ASCO Numatics
has assisted in making fuel dispensing

As fuel pump sizes have reduced over the In both applications the fuels are stored in safer than other fuels in the event of a

ATEX Directive 94/9/EC - EUROPEAN DIRECTIVES
GENERAL
The accidental ignition of an atmosphere containing a large quantity of gas, vapour, mists and/or dust may cause an explosion. Specific
measures have been taken on an international level in order to avoid any material damage or the loss of human lives.
These measures mainly apply to chemical and petrochemical industries where such hazardous atmospheres may be developed during
the production, transformation, transport and storage of flammable products. They also cover installations where combustible dust is
produced in the processing of pulverised and grain products (grinding and sieving).
some DEFINITIONS
B
What is a potentially explosive atmosphere?
3 elements must be combined to trigger an explosion:
A The oxygen in the surrounding air = always present
B A flammable substance (gas, vapours, mists or dusts)
C A source of ignition: Electrical equipment / installation

or any source of heat
A spark or a flame are not the only sources of ignition. An increase of the
surface temperature of an electrical equipment may cause an explosion
if it exceeds the ignition temperature of the surrounding gas or mixture of
substances. A C
Removing just one of the 3 elements
What is an explosive atmosphere? eliminates the entire risk
This is an atmosphere which could become explosive (the danger is potentially present) due to the local or operational condition in an
installation such as: leaks, rupture of pipeline, temperature variations, etc.
What is a gaseous or dusty explosive atmosphere?
This is a mixture with air, under atmospheric conditions, of flammable substances in the form of gases, vapours, mists or dusts in which,
after ignition has occurred, combustion spreads to the entire unburned mixture (definition according to Directive 1999/92/EC).
What is the fundamental difference between a gaseous and a dusty atmosphere?
It’s the density. The density of gases and vapours is approximately 1,000 times less than that of dusts. Gases are dispersed in the air
due to convection and diffusion, thereby creating a homogeneous atmosphere. Since dusts are much heavier than air, they have the
tendency to settle to the bottom more or less quickly.
What are the characteristic features of an explosive atmosphere caused by dust?
For a dusty atmosphere to become explosive, the following four conditions must be present:
- The dust must be flammable (particle size < 0.3 mm in general).
- The atmosphere must contain an oxidiser (generally oxygen, even in a very small quantity).
- The dusts must be in suspension. (The explosion will be caused by the extremely rapid rate of combustion of the dust in the oxygen
in the air.)
- The dust concentration must be in the explosive range. (As a rule, the lower limit of explosion is around 50 g/m³.)
OBJECTIVES OF THE ATEX DIRECTIVE 94/9/EC (“ATmosphères EXplosibles”)

To ensure free circulation of the products to which it is applicable throughout the territory of the European Union.
To remove barriers to trade via the New Approach by requiring a definition of essential requirements regarding safety and
health by which a high level of protection will be ensured (Annex II of Directive 94/9/EC).
To cover by a single directive both mining and surface equipment.
X020GB-2009/R0 - X020-07-010
To increase the scope as compared to national regulations by providing for the first time essential safety and health
requirements for:
- Non-electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres [EN 13463-1 (2001)];
- Equipment intended for use in dusty environments as well as protective systems;
- Devices intended for use outside explosive atmospheres which are required for or contribute to the safe functioning of
equipment or protective systems.
X020-25
X020-GB-2009-Pages.indb 25 12/2/2009 12:29:16 PM

ATEX Directive 94/9/EC - EUROPEAN DIRECTIVES
WHAT obligations DOES the manufacturer HAVE UNDER this Directive?
The manufacturer has sole and ultimate responsibility for the conformity of his product to the applicable directives. He bears
responsibility for:
- Ensuring the conformity of his products to the Directive (providing for certificates of conformity);
- Designing and constructing his products in accordance with the essential safety and health requirements;
- Following the procedures for the assessment of the conformity of the product.
EFFECTIVE DATE
Since 1 July 2003, all products placed on the market in the European Union have to conform to Directive 94/9/EC. Already installed
equipment need, however, not be replaced by equipment conforming to the ATEX directive.
WHAT ABOUT THE PRODUCTS AFTER 30 JUNE 2003?

After 30 June 2003, conformity to the ATEX directive is obligatory in order to enable free movement of products throughout the
European Union. Only the New Approach remains valid. It takes into account:
- Hazardous areas;
- CE Marking;
- Dust atmospheres;
- The CENELEC standards EN 60079-0 (EN 50014) for electrical equipment for explosive gas atmosphere;
- Standard EN 13463 for non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres.
WHAT ABOUT THE PRODUCTS AFTER 1 JULY 2006?

After 1 July 2006, standards EN 50014..28 are progressively replaced by the EN 60079 series of standards in the list of harmonised
standards. The same applies for EN 50281-1-1 (electrical apparatus for the use in the presence of combustible dust) which is replaced
by the EN 61241 series of standards.
If the equipment is not affected by substantial modifications of the new standards, the manufacturer does not need to apply for an
addition to the EC type-examination certificate.
Status of the harmonisation of these standards at the end of 2006:
EN 50014 Replaced by EN 60079-0.
EN 50018 «d» Replaced by EN 60079-1.
EN 50019 «e» Replaced by EN 60079-7.
EN 50020 «i» To be harmonised by 1 October 2009, then replaced by EN 60079-11.
EN 50021 «n» Replaced by EN 60079-15.
EN 50028 «m» Replaced by EN 60079-18.
EN 50281-1-1 Replaced by EN 61241-0 and EN 61241-1.
WHAT IS THE IECEx CERTIFICATION?
The IECEx International Certification Scheme is a voluntary certification system. It offers a certification of conformity with the IEC
series of standards 60079, 61241 and 61779. This certification facilitates the international trade of electrical equipment intended for
use in explosive atmospheres and contributes to avoiding the multiplicity of national certifications while guaranteeing an adapted level
of safety. The certification is issued by an organisation recognised by IECEx, an ExCB (Ex Certification Body).
- It provides direct access to the markets in Australia, New Zealand etc.
- It simplifies access to local certifications in Russia, China, USA etc.
- It reduces the time and costs for certification due to its international recognition.
- All certificates issued are available for download worldwide under «Online Certificates» at IECEx.com.
WHAT ARE EQUIPMENT PROTECTION LEVELS (EPLs)?

The degree of hazard is currently defined according to the probability of the occurrence of explosive atmospheres. Equipment Protec-
tion Levels (EPLs) are introduced to enable an alternative approach to selecting Ex equipment by taking into account the potential
consequences of an explosion and other factors such as the toxicity of materials.
X020GB-2009/R0 - X020-07-010
A risk assessment approach for the acceptance of explosion protected equipment has been introduced to clearly indicate the inherent
ignition risk of the equipment, no matter what type of protection is used.

Standardisation organisations - EUROPEAN DIRECTIVES
IEC / CENELEC cooperation
The main CENELEC EN 50014 standard (General Requirements) pertaining to electrical
apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres was originally published in 1977. It is
derived from the IEC Publications 79.
From that date, these 2 organisations have constantly intensified their cooperation. The
new series of standards 6 (60079-0, etc.) which gradually replace the old standards are
an example for the approximation between European and international standards.
WhAT are these 2 organisations?

IEC
IEC
The "International Electrotechnical Commission" (IEC), founded in 1906, has its head Commission European
of the European Free Trade
office in Geneva. The commission is currently composed of 55 national committees and communities Association
19 associate members. Its purpose is "fostering international cooperation in all issues
relative to standardisation and in related subjects such as certification in the fields of
electricity and electronics, and thus favouring international exchanges".
Since 1976, the IEC has been cooperating with the International Standard Organisation
CENELEC
(ISO), among others.
CENELEC Full partici-
pation
The "European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation" (CENELEC) is a tech- National of all inte-
nical organisation located in Brussels. It is composed of the National Electrotechnical committees rested
parties
Committees from 31 European countries and 11 affiliated countries. The committee's
major role is to harmonise national standards to produce a single European Standard
("EN").
In 1958, the standardisation process started, and in 1973, the name CENELEC was
ELECTROTECHNICAL
adopted with the expansion of the Common Market. STANDARDS
Within the CENELEC, the Technical Committee 31 is in charge of elaborating the stand- for EUROPE
ards for electrical apparatus intended for use in explosive atmospheres.
WHAT IS CEN?
CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) works in close partnership with CENELEC. CEN is a “European forum” for standardisation,
with the exception of electro-technology, which fosters and organises relations between governments, governmental bodies, producers,
users, consumers, trade unions etc. This is, in particular achieved by:
- harmonising published national standards and promoting ISO standards;
- elaborating new EN standards, developing procedures for the mutual recognition of test results etc.
(Example: Standards EN 13463-1 to 8 for non-electrical apparatus).
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE STANDARDISATION OF EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

CENELEC and CEN have been entrusted with developing new directives as a support to harmonise the legislation of the Member
States of the European Union.
Key dates to bear in mind:

- 23 March 1994: Creation of Directive 94/9/EC (also called ATEX or ATEX 100A) in replacement of Directives 76/117/EEC, 79/196/
EEC, 82/130/EEC. The directive is to form the basis of the current regulations relating to electrical and non-electrical
equipment for explosive atmospheres.
- From 1996, transposition of the directive in the Member States of the European Union. Start of the transitory period allowing for a
progressive adaptation of the manufacture of products to the requirements of the directive.
- 30 June 2003, end of the transitory period: All products placed on the market throughout the European Union from 1 July 2003
must fulfil the safety and health requirements of Directive 94/9/EC.
- 2006-2009: Gradual application of the new harmonised series of standards “6” (EN 60079-0, EN 60214-0, etc.). The series of
standards “5” (EN 50014, EN 50281-1-1 etc.) will cease to apply due to the substantial modifications required by some of the series
of standards “6”.
- 2007: The significant changes in the 5th edition of IEC 60079-0 are:
X020GB-2009/R0 - X020-07-010
- Requirements for explosive dust atmospheres transferred from IEC 61241-0

- The marking Group II alone has been replaced by IIA, IIB or IIC
- Dusts groups defined as Group IIIA, IIIB and IIIC
- Limits for ultrasonic and electromagnetic radiation introduced
- Remainder of “electrostatic” requirements transferred from IEC 60079-26
- Equipment protection levels (EPLs) introduced

OPERATING VOLTAGE, TEMPERATURE
EN 60079-1:
- All equipment needs to be tested within the range of ±10 % of its operating
voltage;
- If the ambient temperature is below -20°C, a test to determine the reference
pressure is required unless a statement that the enclosure is unaffected by lower
temperatures (i.e. it does not become more brittle) is furnished.
WIRING (by cable gland certified to ATEX)
Standard EN 60079-1 specifies that the thread sizes (3/4 NPT, 1/2 NPT or M20)
must be marked on the product or label or indicated in the installation and mainte-
nance instructions. The cable glands must be certified in accordance with this new
standard and must be appropriate for use within the ambient temperature range for
which the product is certified.
