Maintaining Safety Throughout the Asset Lifecycle

An Ex installation’s safety is not static. Over time, factors like corrosion, vibration, unauthorized modifications, and general wear can degrade its protective measures. Periodic inspections are a mandatory requirement to systematically identify these potential issues, ensuring the installation remains safe for continued use and compliant with legal standards.

Our Inspection Methodology (IEC 60079-17)

Our certified inspectors follow the rigorous methodology of the IEC 60079-17 standard. Depending on the equipment and environment, we perform Visual, Close, or Detailed grade inspections. Our process includes checking for damages, verifying installation parameters, checking electrical connections, and ensuring all markings and documentation are correct and up-to-date.

Clear, Actionable Reporting

The outcome of every inspection is a comprehensive report that provides a clear overview of the installation’s condition. Each finding is documented with photographic evidence, classified by severity, and includes a precise recommendation for corrective action. Our reports provide the auditable proof of compliance you need for your safety dossier.
