Hazardous Area Electrical Inspections: ATEX / IECEx / UKEx

We understand that many companies do not have the necessary understanding or in-house expertise to ensure hazardous area electrical installation and inspection compliance in accordance with the ATEX directives (commonly referred to as ATEX 95 & ATEX 137) and The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2015 (DSEAR) all of which address safety where there is a danger from potentially explosive atmospheres.

Many workplaces may contain or have activities that produce explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres which can be caused by flammable gases, mists, vapours or combustible dusts.
