Maintenance changes everything

Your installation may be certified, the zoning may be correct and the Explosion Protection Document may be up to date.

Your installation may be certified, the zoning may be correct and the Explosion Protection Document may be up to date.

But as soon as maintenance starts, the situation changes. Systems are opened, motors are replaced, temporary lighting is connected and controlled processes become non-routine work situations.

That is often exactly where the greatest explosion risk arises.

Exquintia assesses whether maintenance, temporary equipment and non-routine work within ATEX zones are demonstrably controlled safely.

It is not only normal operation that matters, but also what happens during inspection, malfunction and maintenance.

Have your maintenance situations independently assessed before a temporary deviation becomes a lasting 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.
