One spark. One miscalculation. One non-compliant component. That’s all it takes.
If you’re operating in hazardous environments—chemical plants, refineries, pharmaceutical facilities, food processing—you already know the stakes. Explosive atmospheres don’t give second chances. Neither do regulators.
The problem? Selecting ATEX components isn’t straightforward. Get the classification wrong, choose components that aren’t properly certified, or miss a critical requirement, and you’re not just risking compliance failures. You’re risking lives.
We help you navigate ATEX requirements with confidence, so your projects are safe, compliant, and operational from day one.
Most ATEX specification failures happen for predictable reasons:
Misclassified hazardous areas. Teams underestimate the explosive risk or use outdated classifications, leading to under-protected zones.
Wrong equipment category. Zone 1 equipment in a Zone 0 area? That’s a catastrophic mistake that happens more often than you’d think.
Incomplete component certification. The main equipment is ATEX certified, but the motors, switches, connectors, and cables? Not always. One non-compliant part compromises the entire installation.
Documentation gaps. When auditors or inspectors arrive, missing certification records or installation documentation can shut down operations until you prove compliance.
These aren’t minor oversights. They’re showstoppers that delay projects, trigger costly rework, and create serious liability.
Getting ATEX right requires a systematic approach. Here’s how we help clients specify and select components that meet requirements the first time:
Before you specify a single component, you need absolute clarity on your hazardous area classification. We help you determine whether you’re dealing with Zone 0, 1, or 2 (for gases and vapours) or Zone 20, 21, or 22 (for dust), based on the frequency and duration of explosive atmosphere presence.
This isn’t guesswork. We reference the ATEX Directive, local regulations, and industry standards to classify your areas accurately. Get this wrong, and everything downstream fails.
Different hazards demand different protection levels. Zone 1 areas require significantly more robust protection than Zone 2. Electrical equipment has different requirements than mechanical systems.
We match your equipment groups and categories precisely to your classified areas, ensuring you’re not over-engineering (wasting budget) or under-protecting (creating risk).
Here’s where most projects leak money and risk. It’s not enough that your main processing equipment is certified. Every single component—motors, switches, sensors, connectors, junction boxes, even cable glands—must carry proper ATEX certification and markings.
We ensure complete system certification. No gaps. No assumptions. No surprises during commissioning.
ATEX regulations are complex and evolving. Component manufacturers may know their products, but do they understand your specific application? Your process conditions? Your integration challenges?
Our team combines ATEX regulatory knowledge with practical field experience. We’ve specified components for hundreds of hazardous installations across chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and oil & gas. We know what works—and what doesn’t—in real-world conditions.
ATEX compliance doesn’t end at installation. Maintenance, repairs, and component replacements must all maintain certification standards. Non-certified replacement parts can void your entire installation’s compliance.
We help you establish maintenance protocols and identify certified replacement components before you need them, so your operations stay compliant and uninterrupted.
When regulators, insurers, or safety auditors show up, they want proof. Complete certification records, installation documentation, and maintenance logs for every ATEX component in your facility.
We help you build documentation packages that pass inspection every time. No scrambling. No gaps. Just comprehensive records that demonstrate compliance from specification through operation.
If you’re in chemical processing, you’re in one of the highest-risk environments for explosive atmospheres. Flammable liquids, reactive gases, combustible dusts—you’re managing all of them, often simultaneously.
ATEX compliance in chemical plants isn’t optional. It’s essential for:
One non-compliant component in any of these systems can trigger a catastrophic event. The regulatory penalties are severe, but the human and business costs are far worse.
When you get ATEX component selection right, you gain:
Operational confidence. Your team works safely, knowing every component is rated for the explosive atmosphere it’s operating in.
Regulatory compliance. Pass inspections and audits without stress or unexpected findings.
Reduced downtime. Properly specified components are more reliable and easier to maintain according to ATEX standards.
Lower total cost. Avoiding rework, emergency shutdowns, and compliance violations saves far more than cutting corners on component selection ever could.
Liability protection. Comprehensive ATEX compliance documentation protects your organization if incidents occur.
Insurance benefits. Proper ATEX certification often results in lower premiums and better coverage terms.
You shouldn’t have to wonder whether your ATEX component selections will pass muster. You shouldn’t be Googling certification requirements at midnight before a commissioning deadline. And you definitely shouldn’t discover compliance gaps during a regulatory inspection.
Work with a team that lives and breathes ATEX requirements. We’ve guided countless projects through hazardous area classification, component selection, certification verification, and compliance documentation—across chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and industrial processing facilities.
Your project deserves ATEX expertise from day one. From initial hazardous area assessment through equipment selection, installation support, and long-term maintenance planning, we ensure your components are properly specified, fully certified, and completely compliant.
Ready to eliminate ATEX uncertainty from your next project? Contact us today. We’ll review your hazardous area requirements, identify the right components for your application, and build a compliance roadmap that keeps your project on schedule and your operations safe.
