Explosive atmospheres may occur both in underground mining, as well as in surface industries such as the oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, wood or baker industries, basically in all industries which extract, process, use, transport or store flammable substances. Within the European Union, Directive 2014/34/EU regulates the placing on the market of equipment, protective systems and components intended for use in such hazardous atmospheres. In this regard, for proofing the compliance with the essential safety requirements, they have to be subject to a certification process carried out by a Notified Body. The CE marking and the Ex ATEx marking (labelling) can be applied to the product only after it has been ensured that the product meets all applicable requirements set out by the Directive and related technical standards in force. The objective of the paper is to present an attempt of developing a Windows OS application which can be used for assisting the technicians involved in the certification process of Ex equipment, by providing guidance on the content of the label of the equipment which is subject to certification, taking into account its’ specific characteristics and functions fulfilled.
