Atex / Ex basic course for designers - Safety in hazardous areas

In a world where flammable gases such as hydrogen, ammonia and biogas (methane) are becoming increasingly important as sustainable energy sources, the right expertise is crucial to ensure safe and efficient installations. This course gives you a solid understanding of the ATEX/Ex regulations – a key competence for anyone designing, installing or operating facilities in potentially explosive atmospheres.

What you will learn on the course

  • Review of the EU Atex Directive and requirements for electrical and mechanical equipment
  • Practical engineering for both onshore and offshore projects
  • Preparation for future IECEx CoPC certification 

The course gives you a thorough introduction to the regulations for design in hazardous areas, with particular emphasis on EN 60079-14 and EX-KOMP:2021. You'll learn how to choose the right equipment, design safe installations, and avoid common pitfalls. With a focus on industry standards and a hands-on approach, you'll have the tools you need to meet the demands of the energy sector – and a solid foundation for eventual further certification.
