Hydrogen, ammonia and biogas (methane) are increasingly used and place high demands on safety in both electrical and mechanical installations. For those who design or install Ex systems, it is crucial to understand the requirements of the ATEX/Ex regulations. This course gives you a basic and practical introduction to the regulations that apply in hazardous areas, with a focus on design, equipment selection and common challenges in practice.
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.
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
