Ignition Hazard Assessment
A structured assessment identifying potential ignition sources associated with equipment, machinery and process assemblies operating within hazardous areas. The assessment evaluates ignition risks and defines the measures required to eliminate or reduce the likelihood of ignition and support ATEX compliance.
What we do:
An Ignition Hazard Assessment systematically examines equipment, assemblies and processes to identify potential sources of ignition within hazardous areas. The assessment reviews mechanical, electrical, thermal and operational hazards that could lead to an explosive event.
Where risks are identified, practical recommendations are provided to reduce or eliminate ignition sources and support compliance with the applicable ATEX requirements.
Summary
Ignition Hazard Assessment
ATEX compliance means understanding where explosive atmospheres can occur and controlling the risks before they cause harm to your people, your plant or your production. Our engineers identify hazardous areas, ignition sources and compliance gaps early, then provide the practical guidance and documentation you need. The result is a clear, auditable path to compliance that supports safe operation and project success.

Services
Hazardous Area Classification
A detailed assessment of the process, substances and operating conditions used to identify where explosive atmospheres may occur and determine the appropriate hazardous area zoning. This forms the foundation for equipment selection, protection concepts and compliance activities.
Explosion Protection Document (EPD)
Preparation or review of the Explosion Protection Document in accordance with ATEX workplace requirements. The document records hazardous areas, identified risks, control measures and the basis of safety adopted to prevent explosions and protect personnel.
ATEX Compliance Action List
A structured action register identifying compliance gaps, recommendations and corrective actions arising from the assessment process. This enables clients to effectively manage and track all activities required to achieve compliance.
Technical File & Notified Body Support
Support in the development and review of Technical Construction Files, supporting calculations, compliance evidence and conformity assessment documentation. Assistance can also be provided when engaging with notified bodies and determining the applicable certification route.
ATEX Conformity Assessment & CE Marking Support
Practical support throughout the ATEX conformity assessment process, including compliance reviews, technical documentation preparation and guidance on CE marking requirements. We assist manufacturers and end users in demonstrating conformity and preparing the documentation required to support the final Declaration of Conformity.
