– Declaration concerning the ATEX directive (94/9/EC)
The present design and ambient conditions inside Eppendorf centrifuges mean that they are not suitable for use in a
potentially explosive atmosphere. The centrifuges must therefore only be used in a safe environment such as the open
environment of a ventilated laboratory or a fully-extracted fume hood. The use of substances which may contribute to a
potentially explosive atmosphere is not permitted. The final decision on the risks in connection with the use of such
substances is the responsibility of the user of the centrifuge.
