Compliance
Electrical Hazardous Area compliance, in a project involving potentially explosive atmospheres, begins in the drawing and planning phase, continues through the construction phase, and results in an EPD/EEHA Dossier that documents every aspect of electrical installations located within a defined hazardous area zone.
For the plant owner and operator however, this Dossier is not the end of their compliance requirements. Indeed it is only the beginning; the EPD/EEHA Dossier must be maintained and routine inspections followed to ensure the integrity of the installation.
ELENTROS can assist every stakeholder in the process with ensuring electrical hazardous area compliance. This includes electrical contractors, general contractors, plant owners and operators, and concerned third parties including gas suppliers, insurance companies, and government departments.
When assisting one or more of these groups, ELENTROS takes a proactive and constructive approach. If a piece of equipment is not suitable, or an installation is not to standard, our inspection and audit teams endeavor to be part of the solution by offering rectification techniques and explaining the intent behind the standards.
Choosing ELENTROS to assist with and evaluate a potentially explosive atmosphere will not only lead to reduced risk and EPD/EEHA compliance, but will increase one’s breadth of understanding and even increase quality.
From a small petrol station, to a record breaking LNG plant, ELENTROS has the skills and experience to ensure full electrical hazardous area compliance for companies and installations around the world.
Compliance Tools
Producing a compliant Electrical Hazardous Area (EEHA/ ATEX EPD) Dossier can be a huge undertaking, with the final document containing thousands of pages.
Furthermore, the document is not static. With visual, close, and detailed inspections performed periodically, the EEHA/ ATEX EPD Dossier is a dynamic document that will chronicle a plant’s potentially explosive atmospheres throughout its operational lifetime.
To increase accuracy in this mammoth document, while dramatically reducing compilation time and document maintenance, ELENTROS uses IT systems and software developed by PerfEx PD Soft.
