Question: is iecex the same as atex?
Answer: IECEx 02 is only intended for electrical equipment in hazardous environments. Main difference between them is that ATEX 114 is law-driven and IECEx 02 is standard-driven. ... ATEX and IECEx both use the same standards (eg EN-IEC 60079-0), so in terms of technical content, there is basically no difference.
