Groveley Precision Engineering: safe, not explosive

As a manufacturer of equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, Groveley Precision Engineering complies fully with Directive 2014/34/EU (formerly ATEX) regulations.

The directive applies to all equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres, whether electrical or mechanical, and also to protective systems.

As a result, anything we manufacture for such an environment must meet essential quality requirements and undergo appropriate conformity procedures. This involves testing and certification by a third-party certification body for the equipment to be marked by the 'EX' symbol.


Certification ensures that the equipment or protective system does not cause an explosion and that adequate information is supplied to ensure that it can be used safely.
