Mastering your ATEX zones
You work in potentially hazardous locations. You need to control these areas at risk of explosion. Safety is your obsession.
Preventing the risk of explosion
Protecting human lives
Ensuring business continuity
Securing maintenance
A risk that is sometimes invisible. A strict regulatory framework. Essential safety.
Background
A simple equipment fault in an ATEX ( Explosive Atmospheres ) zone can cause an explosion: gas stations, agricultural silos, chemical plants, cement factories, etc. These environments are subject to the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dust combined with oxygen, or high electrical voltages. All it takes is a spark or an abnormal rise in temperature to trigger an accident.
ATEX zones are subject to particularly stringent regulations at the French, European, and international levels, such as the ATEX 2014/34/EU and ATEX 1999/92/EC directives and the IECEx standards (IEC 60079-x).
While safety is paramount at any industrial site, it becomes extremely critical in ATEX zones, given the potentially dramatic consequences.

5 reasons to choose Georgin to manage your ATEX zones
Multi-sector expert
Industrial expertise forged in the most critical environments
For more than 85 years, Georgin has been designing and manufacturing measurement and control instruments for highly demanding industries: energy, defense, naval, chemical, agri-food, and nuclear. The safety of ATEX zones is at the heart of our expertise, with operational solutions installed in thousands of sensitive sites in France and internationally.
Certified range
ATEX, IECEx, SIL2 certified products, compliant with the most stringent standards
Our control instruments are certified for ATEX gas and dust zones. They meet the requirements of European Directive 2014/34/EU, as well as international standards (IECEx, SIL, RCC-E for nuclear applications). Each product is designed to withstand extreme conditions: radiation, seismic activity, vibrations, shocks, corrosive atmospheres, temperature variations, and humidity.
Full offer
Unique expertise in signal interfacing in explosive areas
The safety chain in ATEX zones does not stop at the sensor. We offer a complete range of safe interfacing devices: Ex ia intrinsically safe barriers, analog and digital signal converters, and alarm relays with integrated thresholds, enabling information to be transmitted without risking ignition of the surrounding atmosphere. Galvanic isolation, low power consumption, and compatibility with industrial controllers make these solutions reliable and suitable for the task.
Customized approach
A tailor-made approach, closely aligned with your field constraints
Because every ATEX site is unique, we support you right from the technical specification phase: choosing zones, protection levels, product categories, threshold configuration, enclosures and connections, as well as calculating intrinsic safety loops. Our technical team designs tailored solutions that are compatible with your production, maintenance, and compliance requirements.
