Webinar 25th October 2023
Thorne & Derrick are thrilled to announce Terry McDonald will be delivering his Fake Products & Fake Certificates Webinar at Brandfarlig vara 2023 (Flammable Goods 2023) this October.
Brandfarlig vara 2023 is a nationwide annual conference for everyone who works with flammable goods, biofuel or combustible dust in industry, authorities and emergency services.
The conference will cover a wide range of topics related to flammable goods, biofuel, and combustible dust. It will provide valuable information on the latest regulations, requirements, and best practices in the industry.
By participating in the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to learn from real-life examples and experiences, both successful cases and situations where safety measures failed. This will help them gain a better understanding of the importance of adhering to safety protocols and the potential risks associated with their work.
One of the main highlights of this year’s conference is the discussion on the new Swedish regulations for flammable liquids. This topic is of particular importance as it directly affects organisations dealing with such substances. Understanding and staying updated on these regulations is crucial for ensuring compliance and minimising the risk of accidents or incidents.

ABSTRACT
Conference Paper By Terry McDonald
“Fake ATEX Products & Certificates – How Big Is The Problem?”
Safety and compliance should always come first but unfortunately there are companies that make cost and profit their priority. There are many examples of fake goods and incorrectly certified products being sold into the explosive atmosphere industry, but just how big is this problem and how can we all take our share of the responsibility to prevent this? The discussion will highlight some recent examples of fake/non-compliant products and how training and competency levels must improve throughout the supply chain to combat this problem.
Don’t let FAKE become FATAL!
