The marking KEMA 09ATEX0098X refers to an ATEX conformity certificate. It confirms that the Simalube automatic lubricator has been tested and approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, in compliance with the European ATEX directive.

Code explanation

• KEMA → the certification body (now part of DEKRA) that issued the approval.
• 09 → the year of certification (2009).
• ATEX0098 → the unique certificate number.
• X → indicates that special conditions for safe use apply (e.g. correct installation, use within permitted temperature and voltage ranges).

ATEX and explosion safety

With this ATEX certificate, Simalube lubricators can be safely used in:

• ATEX Zones 1 and 2 (gas explosion hazard),
• ATEX Zones 21 and 22 (dust explosion hazard).

The lubricators have been tested according to international standards, including:

• EN 60079-0 (general explosion safety requirements),
• EN 60079-11 (intrinsic safety),
• EN 50303 (specific requirements for lubrication equipment in hazardous areas).

International certification

In addition to the European ATEX certificate, Simalube also holds an IECEx certificate (IECEx DEK 20.0032X). This ensures global recognition and allows safe use in explosive environments worldwide, such as in the chemical, petrochemical, food and mining industries.

Conclusion

The marking KEMA 09ATEX0098X on a Simalube automatic lubricator guarantees ATEX compliance, explosion safety and reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
