Explosive atmospheres are a serious risk to life, property and operations. The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) in the UK, and similar regulations elsewhere, are designed to reduce risk by controlling the use of equipment in hazardous areas. We help you demonstrate compliance with relevant standards and regulations so you can operate safely and access global markets with confidence.
Our services
We offer certification for a wide range of regional and international schemes:
- ATEX certification
Meet EU requirements under the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU) for placing products on the market for use in potentially explosive environments. As an ATEX Notified Body, we certify your products in line with essential safety requirements.
- IECEx certification
Facilitate international market access with IECEx certification – a globally recognized scheme that supports safe trade in equipment and services for use in explosive atmospheres. This voluntary scheme helps demonstrate compliance with regional requirements and is often completed alongside ATEX as part of a single, cost-effective project.
- UKCA ‘Ex’ certification
Comply with UKCA marking requirements for explosion-protected equipment placed on the Great Britain market. As a UK Government Appointed Body, we deliver fully accredited certification for Ex equipment under the UK regulatory framework.
- North American HazLoc certification
Access the US and Canadian markets with certification for Class/Division and Class/Zone systems. We are accredited for both ordinary and hazardous location standards and offer combined cSGSus marking for streamlined compliance.
- National certifications (China, Korea, Japan, Brazil, South Africa)
Navigate local approvals efficiently with our support. If you already hold ATEX or IECEx certification, we can help you leverage these to simplify additional certifications for other key regions.
