Your Essential, Legally Required Safety Document

The Explosion Protection Document (EPD), or Explosieveiligheidsdocument (EVD), is a legally required document under ATEX 153 (Directive 1999/92/EC). It is a live document that comprehensively describes all technical and organizational measures taken to ensure explosion safety within your facility. It serves as the central point of truth for your entire Ex safety policy.

What Does an EPD Contain?

A compliant EPD must contain several key elements. We ensure your document includes a thorough identification and assessment of explosion risks, a complete Hazardous Area Classification (HAC), details of all ignition source controls, and clear descriptions of your organizational measures, such as work permits, training programs, and inspection schedules.

Drafting, Verification, and Maintenance

Whether you need a new EPD created from scratch, an independent verification of your existing document, or support in keeping it up-to-date, we can help. Our experts ensure your EPD is not just a paper exercise, but a practical and effective tool for managing explosion safety on a daily basis.
