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.
How is the fee for ATEX consulting set?
Individually, after a free needs assessment — based on scope (advisory, documentation or on-site inspection), site size and travel. You get a clear, agreed quote before any work starts, with no product markup because I sell no equipment.
What do I actually receive?
A prioritised, photo-documented report or document — hazardous area classification, an Explosion Protection Document, or inspection findings — with clear actions your operations and HSE teams can schedule against, plus support for audit, insurer and duty-holder questions.
