ATEX andATEX Explosion proof Certification

What certification is required for the export of thermocouples used in explosive environments to the EU market?

We know that products entering the EU market generally require CE certification. There are many directives under CE certification, such as LVD, EMC, mechanical directives, etc. There is also an explosion-proof directive for explosive hazardous environments, namelyATEX.
