Manage your explosion
risks with experts

Areas Classification Study

The classification of risk areas is mandatory to comply with regulatory standards NR 10 and NR 20.

The Areas Classification Study must be prepared correctly and carefully so that investment in explosion-proof equipment "EX" is minimized.

The identification and knowledge of explosion hazard areas in your facilities is the first step towards the safety of your facilities.

With a risk map correctly performed, the amount paid to your insurance can be renegotiated and reduced - the insurance premium paid by your company is directly related to the risk potential.

OUR SERVICES

We have prepared studies for the classification of explosive areas for companies that deal with the presence of gases, dust, vapors, dust, or explosive fibers in its production process. All work is supervised and done under the responsibility of a legally qualified professional.

Consultancy for declassification of areas

Our technical knowledge allows us to evaluate and propose engineering and control measures to minimize probable releases of combustible substances from the sources identified in the Area Classification Study. These measures will allow the control of the explosion risk in the Classified Areas, reducing or eliminating it completely.

The purpose of this consultancy is to minimize investment in "EX" equipment. If classified areas are minimized, the need for investment in explosion-proof equipment, as well as installation services, will be reduced.This is our main differential. We attack the problem directly at its source!

Attention

We do not sell "EX" equipment and we do not have teams for its regularization. We understand that your well-trained maintenance team will be able to work on any type of electrical installation, whether it is "EX" or not (and whether it is outsourced or not).

Visual and detailed inspection

The inspection stage of electrical installations is one of the most important to ensure the safety of workers and places with the presence of explosive atmospheres.

A detailed check is made during the inspection, in order to verify that the equipment and electrical installations are in adequate safety conditions and in accordance with the established in ABNT NBR IEC 60079-17.

After the inspection, we send a complete report with the prioritization for the adequacy of the non-conformities found. In this way, it is possible to invest in areas where there is really risk.

VISUAL INSPECTION

Identifies defects that are visually evident. There is no use of tools or other access equipment.

DETAILED INSPECTION

Careful inspection which, in addition to the aspects verified in the visual inspection, also analyzes the EX marking plate for electrical and electronic equipment and accessories, as well as the certificates of conformity.

Adjustment plan for regularization

After diagnosing the facilities, the next step is the planning phase. In this stage, we established an action plan with the necessary recommendations for adequacy, consolidating all the results of the work carried out.

It is also at this time that we deliver a technical report with the list of adequacy recommendations. This facilitates the establishment of an action plan to correct risk situations.

This report presents the result of the classification of the areas and potential sources of ignition found during the inspection. Technical suggestions for reducing the classification of the area are presented for each risk whenever possible, as well as recommendations for the regularization of possible sources and ignition.

In addition, each situation receives a risk rating, facilitating the prioritization of actions to be implemented.

Based on the report, we will be able to assist in the definition of the types of services that should be contracted, indicate possible suppliers, and help in the definition of technical specifications and all necessary consultancy to regularize your facilities.
