An Ex certificate is not a free pass

An Ex motor can be correctly marked and still present a risk.

An Ex motor can be correctly marked and still present a risk.

Incorrect alignment, excessive belt tension, restricted cooling or missing verification can together compromise the explosion-protected design. The component may still comply on paper, but no longer in practice.

Exquintia checks whether your Ex equipment is still operating within the conditions for which it was designed.

It is not only the certificate that matters, but the interaction between installation, operation and maintenance.

Have your Ex installation independently assessed before small deviations become a major risk.

Next step

Do you want to know whether temporary work, maintenance or modifications affect your ATEX assessment?

Exquintia reviews the EPD, zoning, equipment and work permits as one technical system, so your documentation stands up during inspection, audit or authority review.
