99/92/EC (ATEX 137) - Directive concerning the explosion protection document and zoning file
Are you sure that the explosion hazard has been sufficiently reduced? Do you have an explosion protection document and/or a zoning file? Do you know which products and/or installations may possibly be explosion hazardous?
Vinçotte would be happy to investigate the same for you and will provide you with an approach that conforms to the law.
Vinçotte will support you in this regard:
- to identify and list installations and locations relevant for ATEX
- to make an assessment of explosion risks (risk analysis: What If or HAZOP studies).
- to draw up the Explosion Protection Document (EVD).
- to prepare a Zoning File.
When you collaborate with Vinçotte experts, you are certain that you will benefit from the highest expertise when drawing up your ATEX file (Explosion Protection Document and Zoning File). For each assignment, Vinçotte experts shall consider the best possible solutions to reduce the explosion hazard to an acceptable business risk using risk reduction measures.
With our years of experience, you can be certain of reliable support for the project, to obtain ATEX-conformant applications (EVD - zoning file) on the one hand, while on the other, we offer you with broad-based support to help you develop an adequate ATEX culture.
