ATEX Explosion Hazards Ltd. services

The Complete range of ATEX Services. With 50 years of providing explosion safety services to the process industry, we have a wide range of expertise within our Group of companies. Since ATEX and DSEAR regulations have become mandatory, many equipment manufacturers and end users have approached us for a turnkey service.  They are particularly annoyed about the large quantity of “New Experts” who have suddenly sprung up, offering ATEX/DSEAR services.  Many of these have only a 2 day ATEX course and some minimal industrial experience to offer, as competency in Explosive Atmosphere Compliance.

Irish factories Act in 1955 position on explosions: “In the case of a process giving rise to dust of such a character and to such an extent as to be liable to explode on ignition, then, unless the plant is so constructed as to withstand the pressure likely to be produced by any such explosion, all practical steps shall be taken to restrict the spread of the effects of such an explosion by the provision, in connection with the plant, of chokes, baffles, and vents, or other effective appliances”.
