High Pressure lters
10. Instructions for use in explosive atmospheres
Hydraulic lters should be installed in applications in which special safety measures are required to prevent the triggering
of explosive atmospheres, such as use in environments classied according to directive 1999/92/CE (ATEX) or the use of
ammable uids.
Conditions like the use of low conductivity uids, which could cause electrostatic discharges, or installation near hot components,
which could cause surfaces heating, could alter the safety of the lters.
MP FILTRI has carried out a voluntary certication of a part of the product range in compliance with directive 2014/34/EU,
in order to guarantee an appropriate degree of safety in these particular conditions.
The content of the certication and the relative marking make them suitable for use in environments classied in accordance
with directive 1999/92/CE (ATEX - ZONE 2).
11. Regulations
Hydraulic lters are not machines, but simple components.
Hydraulic lters are excluded from the scope of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, they don’t need the CE mark.
Hydraulic lters are designed to be tted within a hydraulic system designed in accordance with the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
Hydraulic lters are pressurized components. The maximum working pressure PS is over 0.5 bar, so they are subject to the
Directive 2014/68/EU (PED)
FHM lters are designed and manufactured for uids included into the Group 2 dened by the Directive 2014/68/EU.
FHM lters do not need the CE marking in accordance with the Directive 2014/68/UE Article 4, Section 3.
FHM lters do not contain any substance of very high concern (SVHC) in percentage higher than 0.1% in accordance with the
Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH)
FHM lters are designed and manufactured in accordance with the Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/863 (RoHS).
