Our services

Everything your hazardous area needs to be safe - and fully compliant.

Six core disciplines, delivered by Ex engineers with real-world experience in high-risk, high-integrity operations.

01 - Ex Inspections

Inspections that stand up to real-world conditions.

Ex inspections verify that equipment installed in hazardous areas is selected, installed and maintained to prevent ignition risks. Our engineers inspect against ATEX and IECEx requirements - and document everything to a standard your auditors can rely on.

  • Initial, periodic and sample inspections to IEC 60079-17
  • Visual, close and detailed inspection grades
  • Clear defect classification and prioritised remediation guidance
  • Audit-ready reports that satisfy regulatory scrutiny

02 - Product Certification

Prove your equipment is safe. Open new markets.

Product certification confirms your equipment has been assessed and tested to meet international Ex standards. Whether you're launching a new product or entering new markets, we guide you through the full process to achieve ATEX and IECEx compliance - without unnecessary detours.

  • Certification strategy and standards gap analysis
  • Technical file preparation and documentation support
  • Liaison with test houses and certification bodies
  • Support from first assessment through to final certificate

03 - Design Review

Catch compliance issues before they're poured in concrete.

A hazardous area design review verifies compliance before installation begins. We assess equipment selection, zoning, cabling, earthing and layout against ATEX and IECEx requirements - eliminating ignition risks at the stage where fixing them is cheapest.

  • Hazardous area classification and zoning verification
  • Equipment selection review against zone requirements
  • Cabling, earthing and layout compliance checks
  • Early identification of issues that cause rework and delays

04 - Ex Training

A workforce that understands the 'why' behind the rules.

Our tailored training packages empower your team with the knowledge to work safely and confidently in hazardous environments. Practical, relevant and shaped around your operation - not a generic slide deck.

  • Ex awareness and hazardous area fundamentals
  • Role-specific packages for engineers, inspectors and operators
  • Content aligned to ATEX, IECEx and IEC 60079
  • Delivered on-site or remotely, around your schedule

05 - Hazardous Area Classification Study

Every zone drawn on evidence, not assumption.

A hazardous area classification study is the foundation everything else stands on - it defines where explosive atmospheres can occur, and to what extent. We identify your release sources, assess your substances and ventilation, and produce the zone classification your equipment selection, inspections and compliance regime all depend on.

  • Release source identification and substance data review
  • Zone classification for gas and dust atmospheres to the IEC 60079 series
  • Zone drawings and classification documentation your teams can work from
  • Reviews and updates when your process, plant or substances change

06 - Hazardous Area Compliance Support

Compliance that holds between certificates.

Certificates are milestones - compliance is continuous. We support manufacturers and operators with the ongoing side of hazardous area compliance, including IECEx quality assessment support (QAN & QAR), so your systems stay aligned with what your certificates promise.

  • IECEx QAN & QAR preparation and support
  • Gap audits of quality systems ahead of formal assessment
  • Support during assessments and structured close-out of findings
  • Ongoing compliance advice as standards and your operation evolve
