Hazardous Area & Explosive Atmosphere Experts
ATEX 137 & DSEAR Compliance Services
Helping To Protect Employees & Plants from the Risk of Explosion in Hazardous Areas
Thorne & Derrick, the Experts in Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres, with the permission of SGS Baseefa are providing a series of articles to advocate the importance of independent services that ensure the protection of employees and property from explosion risk in hazardous areas – this is achieved through the provision of training and ensuring that equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is correctly certified according to ATEX and IECEx international classifications by a accredited Notified Body.
Part 5
ATEX/DSEAR installation compliance services from SGS – protect workers from fire and explosion risks.
The UK Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) are concerned with protection against risks from fire, explosion and similar events, arising from the use of dangerous substances in the workplace. The regulations set out minimum requirements for the protection of workers from fire and explosion risks related to dangerous substances and explosive atmospheres.
Our services to installers and users of explosion protected equipment complement our ATEX and IECEx Equipment Certification Services.
DSEAR LEGAL DUTIES
DSEAR became part of UK law on 30 June 2003. It imposes duties on employers and the self-employed, and is the UK transposition of European Directive 1999/92/EC. Similar legislation applies throughout most of the world and our services can be adapted to local legislation anywhere.
Although the legal framework in Europe is based on ATEX, the same international standards are applicable anywhere in the world, albeit sometimes with minor adaptations for local conditions:
- IEC 60079-10-1 Area Classification – Gases and Vapours
- IEC 60079-10-2 Area Classification – Hazardous Dusts
- IEC 60079-14 Equipment Selection and Installation
- IEC 60079-17 Installation Inspection

ATEX & IECEx Certification | hazardous area equipment certification from SGS meets the legal requirements for products used in explosive atmospheres.
COMPLIANCE SERVICES
With a vast amount of experience in these standards and in explosion protection generally, we provide a comprehensive range of installation compliance services. This unique service is provided by our professionally qualified and experienced staff, all experts in their field, who deliver practical, pragmatic advice and guidance to our customers to assist them in meeting the challenges of compliance with local regulations. Our services include:
- Hazardous area health checks
- User risk assessments
- Hazardous area classification (BS EN 60079-10-1/-2 & Industry Codes)
- Implementation, planning and project management
- Plant and operational hazard analysis
- Management system auditing and plant inspection services
For more information about how our ATEX/DSEAR compliance and explosive atmosphere services can support your business, contact us today.

Hazardous Area & Explosive Atmosphere Experts
IECEx Personnel Competence Certification Scheme
Helping To Protect Employees & Plants from the Risk of Explosion in Hazardous Areas
Thorne & Derrick, the Experts in Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres, with the permission of SGS Baseefa are providing a series of articles to advocate the importance of independent services that ensure the protection of employees and property from explosion risk in hazardous areas – this is achieved through the provision of training and ensuring that equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is correctly certified according to ATEX and IECEx international classifications by a accredited Notified Body.
Part 4
IECEx competence certification from SGS – a qualification for personnel in organisations offering services in explosive atmospheres.
It is well recognised that people are the weakest link in any safety chain. The purpose of the internationally recognised IECEx Personnel Competence Certification Scheme is to add strength to your safety chain in respect of those individuals working in and around hazardous areas.
SGS is recognised as being at the forefront of international product certification within the IECEx Equipment Certification Scheme, and the company is now well established as a leader in the newer IECEx Personnel Competence Certification Scheme.
Unlike many other schemes which are based purely on training, the IECEx scheme focuses on what an individual is capable of doing sometime after their training has been put to use in the workplace. In contrast, an examination directly at the end of a training course tests only short-term memory, rather than acquired ability.
By setting a number of pre-requisites before each examination can be attempted, you can be confident that a pass in the examination is meaningful.
The scheme is based on 11 units that cover most of the activities personnel may be required to carry out as part of the design, installation, commissioning, inspection and maintenance of such plants.

ATEX & IECEx Certification | hazardous area equipment certification from SGS meets the legal requirements for products used in explosive atmospheres.
In short form, the IECEx units are:
- Ex 000 – Basic Knowledge and Awareness to Enter an Explosive Area Site
- Ex 001 – Application of Basic Principles of Protection (supporting the other units)
- Ex 002 – Performance of Area Classification
- Ex 003 – Installation of Equipment and Wiring Systems
- Ex 004 – Maintenance of Equipment
- Ex 005 – Overhaul and Repair of Equipment
- Ex 006 – Testing of Installations and Equipment
- Ex 007 – Performance of Visual and Close Inspections
- Ex 008 – Performance of Detailed Inspections
- Ex 009 – Design of Electrical Installations in Hazardous Atmospheres
- Ex 010 – Performance of Audit Inspections

IECEx Ex000 is a certificate of Basic Knowledge and based only on a test. This will indicate whether the participant has basic knowledge, when they need not demonstrate specific competence in the Ex field.
Units Ex 003 to Ex 008 require practical examinations on hardware, in addition to the written examinations that apply for all units. The practical examinations are currently held at our examination centres in the UK and Singapore. There is more flexibility in where the written examinations can take place.
Contact us today for more information and to prove the competence of your personnel.
