Frequently asked questions about ATEX Consulting
1. What are the advantages of atex analysis being part of the facilities project from its earliest phases?
- It generates significant economic savings and reduces time costs since it avoids the possibility of having to make modifications once manufactured and/or installed, suggesting the best way to build safely according to ATEX.
- It provides information and knowledge of what is being done from the beginning of the project, offering peace of mind to those responsible for it.
- And furthermore, by participating from the beginning, future decision-making in this regard will be much more efficient, thanks to the involvement that has occurred.
2. What specific advice provides the greatest benefit to ATEX installation projects?
- Predetermine zone classification in the project phase, as this reduces the possibility of being too conservative, for example, and considering more ATEX equipment than would actually be necessary.
- Provide solutions to reduce the size of the zones, instead of classifying them all and certifying them (with the consequent economic cost)
- Anticipate possible difficulties in the face of security risks and ensure regulatory compliance that applies to each team.
3. I am an equipment manufacturer, what documentation am I obliged to deliver to my client?
- CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY (of compliance with safety directives and applicable regulations)
- INSTRUCTION MANUAL (in the language of the country where we are making the sale).
- Plate with the CE marking of the equipment, which includes the specific ATEX marking that corresponds to it.
