Turbomachinery Package Specification 

250 Generator Set 

For installations that require Conformité Européenne (CE) Mark certification, Solar 
complies with the CE Mark codes and standards adopted by local authorities and 
government entities. Sources for these codes and standards include the following 
European Union (EU) directives: 

•  Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX) Directive 94/9//EC 
•  Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC 
•  Machinery Safety Directive 98/37/EC 
•  Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC 
•  Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC 

To ensure compliance with applicable directives, Det Norske Veritas (DNV), an approved 
Notified Body, supports Solar’s efforts to comply with directives by providing consultation 
and, where applicable, certification. Solar has received from DNV “type certification” for 
standard turbomachinery packages for ATEX and PED directives. As a result, Solar self-
certifies for CE Mark requirements on standard packages. This self-certification process 
includes the following: 

•  The package is designed and manufactured to European Committee for 

Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and European Committee for 
Standardization (CEN) standards. 

•  A hazard analysis is performed to define any and all conceivable hazards. 
•  Tests are performed to verify proper operation and functionality of components 

and systems. 

•  Operation and Maintenance Instruction (OMI) manuals, package labels, and 

control system display screens are produced in the operator’s native language. 

•  Prior to application of the Conformité Européenne (CE) Mark, the Test Facilities, 

Production, Quality, and a Compliance Engineer perform an audit of the 
completed package. 

•  A Declaration of Conformity is then issued for each CE Marked package. 

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) / Electrotechnical Standardization 
(CENELEC) (60079-10) categorizes hazardous areas in terms of Zones shown in Table 
15. 
 

0 

Explosive atmosphere continuously present 

1 

Explosive atmosphere often present 

2 

Explosive atmosphere may be present under fault conditions 

 
While electrical systems can be provided to meet Zone 1 or Zone 2, under ATEX, 
generator sets can only be certified for Zone 2 due to the hot surface temperature of the 
gas turbine.
