CompEx Certified Inspection
Independent CompEx inspection of Ex equipment in hazardous areas — oil, gas and industry. CompEx certification means the competence is assessed in practice, not just on paper, and applied to IEC 60079-17.
What is CompEx, and why it matters
CompEx is an internationally recognised scheme of competence for people working on electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres. The certification covers the installation, inspection and maintenance of Ex equipment in gas and vapour areas — assessed practically. For a duty holder, a CompEx-certified inspector is a clear, verifiable competence signal.
What the CompEx competence covers
Ex equipment types
Ex d, Ex e, Ex i and related protection concepts — how they are installed, inspected and kept valid.
Installation & inspection
Correct selection, installation practice, and the visual/close/detailed grades of IEC 60079-17.
Field judgement
Recognising real defects — flame paths, entries, markings, corrosion — and knowing what needs authorised repair.
From inspection through to a compliant fix

Frequently asked questions
What does CompEx certification cover?
It covers the preparation, installation, inspection and maintenance of electrical Ex equipment in gas and vapour hazardous areas, assessed both by knowledge and practical tests.
Is CompEx the same as ATEX or IECEx?
No. ATEX and IECEx concern equipment and schemes; CompEx concerns people's competence. See IECEx vs ATEX.
Can I hire you for a one-off project?
Yes — see hire a CompEx expert for interim, ad-hoc and project-based work.
