ATEX Consultant — Independent ATEX Consultancy
An independent ATEX consultant for hazardous area classification, Ex inspection and explosion protection documents — for oil & gas and industry. One certified point of contact from the first assessment to a report your operations and HSE teams can act on. Online worldwide, on-site across Europe.
What an ATEX consultant does
ATEX consulting is practical advisory work on explosion protection: making sure your zones, equipment, inspection and documentation actually line up with the standards and the reality on site. As an independent ATEX consultant I don't sell equipment — the deliverable is honest, prioritised advice you can act on, whether that is a single opinion or ongoing support.
What the consultancy covers
Hazardous area classification
Defensible gas and dust zones (0/1/2, 20/21/22) that drive every downstream decision.
ATEX / Ex inspection
Periodic inspection to IEC 60079-17 — visual, close and detailed — with a photo-documented report.
Explosion Protection Document
EPD preparation and updates, built on real classification and field condition.
CompEx certified inspection
Certified competence, applied practically to your Ex equipment.
Interim & project support
Hire an ATEX consultant for a turnaround, project or a defined gap — offshore, onshore or industrial.
By industry
Oil & gas, chemical, pharma, printing, wood & paper, food, biogas & wastewater.
How the ATEX consulting works
Talk it through
A free online needs assessment: your site, technology, zones and what prompted the review. No obligation.
Scope & agree
A clear, individually agreed scope and fee — focused advice or a broader engagement, whichever fits.
Do the work
Remote review or on-site inspection, documented as I go, with findings prioritised by risk.
Act on it
A report your team can schedule against — plus support for audits, insurers and duty-holder questions.
Why an independent ATEX consultant
No conflict of interest
No equipment or repairs to sell — the advice serves your safety and budget, not a product line.
Field-first
25+ years hands-on E&I work, including 20+ years offshore and onshore oil & gas — advice that fits real operations.
Correct on compliance
Inspection to IEC 60079-17; repairs handled to IEC 60079-19 with approved methods and parts, or coordinated with an authorised repairer.
Talk to an independent ATEX consultant
Tell me about your site — the technology, whether flammable gas, vapour or dust is present, and what has prompted the review. I’ll reply within 1–2 business days with a tailored response or a free online needs assessment.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an ATEX consultant and an inspector?
They overlap: as an ATEX consultant I advise on classification, documentation and strategy, and as a CompEx-certified inspector I also carry out the Ex inspection itself. You get both from one point of contact.
Do you work internationally?
Yes. Advisory and document work is delivered online worldwide; on-site inspection is across Europe, with oil & gas offshore and onshore as the core experience.
Can I hire you for a one-off opinion?
Yes — a single review, second opinion or scoped piece of ATEX consulting is fine, with no long commitment. For larger needs see interim and project support.
