Responsibilities in the ATEX procedure
Safety is of paramount importance to us in everything we do. Our solid experience ensures that projects are carried out according to requirements. We comply with safety standards at every stage of work, from design to final site operations. We train our personnel in safety matters regularly and continuously improve our internal security practices.
In order to comply with the specifications of the ATEX Directive, we need comprehensive information from the customer about equipment and processes, including, for example, an explosion protection document. We are responsible for ensuring that the equipment is designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned in accordance with the source data and the requirements of the explosion protection document. If necessary, we will use Eurofins Expert Services Oy to assess the suitability of the product for the intended use.
