On 1 April 2025, the European Commission published Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/597, which updates the list of harmonized standards for the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. A significant change concerns the standard EN 14983:2007, which has been replaced by the successor standard EN 14983:2024. This standard relates to explosion protection in underground mines, in particular to equipment and protective systems for the extraction of firedamp. Manufacturers have a transitional period of 1.5 years to adapt their products accordingly.
