About Exquintia

Exquintia makes explosion safety demonstrable, technically defensible and practically executable — from EPD and hazardous area classification to inspection, audit preparation and equipment suitability.

Exquintia works for industrial clients who must substantiate explosion safety toward HSE, engineering, maintenance, management, insurers, authorities or internal audit.

The approach combines ATEX 153, ATEX 114, IEC 60079, ISO 80079, NPR 7910, IECEx context and practical experience with installations, maintenance, inspections, modifications, battery charging areas, dust systems and Ex equipment.

In industrial environments where flammable gases, vapours, mists or dusts are present, safety depends on clear technical choices.

A reliable hazardous area classification, an up-to-date Explosion Protection Document, suitable equipment, robust inspections and trained people must work together as one system.

Only then does ATEX become more than an administrative obligation: it becomes a demonstrably controlled part of operations.

Exquintia supports companies with specialist knowledge of ATEX, IECEx, IEC 60079, ISO 80079 and practical guidance for hazardous area classification, inspection, maintenance and explosion safety management.

We work in the Netherlands and in other European countries, including Germany, Belgium and England.

Europe shares a common ATEX basis, but national law, enforcement practice and technical guidance differ by country. Exquintia takes the national context of each project into account.

In the Netherlands this includes alignment with occupational safety legislation, the Working Conditions Decree and NPR 7910. In Germany, Betriebssicherheitsverordnung, Gefahrstoffverordnung, TRGS and DGUV practice are important reference points.

In Belgium, the Codex on well-being at work and Belgian implementation practice must be considered. In England, post-Brexit legal frameworks and national guidance apply, while the technical basis still strongly aligns with international IEC and EN standards.

Exquintia's strength is connecting standards knowledge with technical reality.

Installations, processes, maintenance, documentation and human behaviour are assessed in context, not as separate topics.

The assessment always considers the applicable legal duties, the relevant standards and the practical conditions on site.

We work for companies in chemicals, food, feed, energy, utilities, storage, transfer and manufacturing.

The objective is always the same: make explosion risks visible, technically substantiate them and translate them into practical measures that are executable, defensible and verifiable.

Exquintia stands for explosion safety that is technically sound, demonstrably documented and aligned with the legal and standards practice of the country where your installation is located.
