ATEX & Ex Inspection by Industry
Every sector has its own flammable materials, zones and inspection priorities. Pick your industry to see how hazardous area classification, Ex inspection and explosion protection apply to your process.
Where explosion protection applies
The hazard changes with the material — flammable gas and vapour, or combustible dust — but the goal is the same: know your zones, inspect them properly, and act on prioritised findings.
Oil & Gas
Offshore & onshoreHazardous areas on platforms and onshore facilities — the core of 20+ years of field work.

1 · Classify
Define the gas and dust zones (0/1/2, 20/21/22) that drive every downstream decision — equipment, inspection and documentation.
2 · Inspect
Ex inspection to IEC 60079-17 at visual, close and detailed grades, with a clear split between inspection and authorised repair.
3 · Report
Photo-documented, prioritised findings your operations and HSE teams can schedule and act on — not a box-ticking checklist.
