Abstract

Directive 2014/34/EU ATEx regulates the placement on the European market of equipment and technical installations for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The current article has as purpose to present the manner of choosing types of protection for designing robots intended to be used for performing inspections in atmospheres with explosion hazard. The safety of workers has led to the development of technologies required for simplifying and safe performance of inspections in areas with explosion hazard.
