Explosion Safety
Our expertise, your independence
In environments where explosive substances or gases are present, explosion safety is essential. We guide companies in the correct application of ATEX and IECEx regulations, from zoning to explosion protection document, always with knowledge of the practice and the grey areas between disciplines.
What is explosion safety?
Explosion safety refers to the set of measures that are necessary to prevent explosions or limit their impact. Within European regulations, this means complying with:
-
ATEX 153 (directive for employers): Requires an explosion protection document and a risk analysis.
-
ATEX 114 (directive for equipment): Regulates the selection of suitable equipment in explosion hazardous areas.
In addition, IECEx is also used in an international context, especially outside Europe or for certified export.
Our solution
We offer advice and support in:
-
Performing explosion risk analyses (both dust and gas)
-
Determining ATEX zones and drawing up zoning plans
-
Selecting and classifying equipment (electrical and mechanical)
-
Drawing up an Explosion Protection Document (EPD)
-
Training personnel and raising awareness of explosion-safe working
We ensure that explosion safety is properly coordinated with other domains such as process and machine safety.
