ATEX FAQ
1. What is ATEX?
The word ATEX is formed by the first two syllables of ATmósfera EXplosiva
Explosive atmosphere: It is a mixture with air (oxygen), under atmospheric conditions, of flammable substances in the form of gases, vapors, mists or explosive dusts, which in contact with an ignition source, combustion spreads to the entire mixture. not burned. (An explosion is caused)
2. Can Atex analysis be carried out in stages or phases?
If possible. The first step would be to carry out a Facility Situation Audit regarding ATEX compliance according to R.D. requirements. 681/2003. And based on the results, prepare the Zone Classification Study and/or the Explosion Protection Document.
3. Does ATEX documentation provide anything else apart from complying with regulations?
- It is a necessary requirement for compliance with other certifications that require it, such as ISO Quality and Environment.
- It can provide us with access to better conditions in insurance policies. In some cases, insurance companies do not contract insurance from companies that, despite having Atex risk, do not have a robust and updated EPD, or if they contract them, they do so with higher premiums (they consider them to be installations with more risk.)
- In the event of accidents related to ATEX, the employer’s liability is much more protected.
4. What is the procedure to collaborate with you on certifications, evaluations, advice or DOPEX?
Our work methodology is in phases.
Phase 1: Contact
1.1. Establish contact to provide us with the details of the needs in relation to ATEX risks, (characteristics of the equipment, areas, etc.) Self-diagnosis test, collection of needs information,
1.2. We provide economic order of magnitude without obligation
1.3. Preparation of personalized budget through prior documentation.
Phase 2: Project Execution
2.1. Once our proposal is accepted, the necessary documentation to carry out the order will be requested.
2.2. Analysis of the documentation provided and preparation of the project.
Phase 3: Verification
3.1. Validation by the client of the project documentation and necessary modifications.
3.2. Verification of satisfaction with the result of the assignment.
