Intrinsic Safety for System Designers

Intrinsic Safety System Designer TrainingIntrinsic Safety System Designer Training

System Designers Competence Certification

This 3 day Intrinsic Safety System Designer Training Course is ideal for Engineers who wish to start designing intrinsically safe systems using certified barriers and simple or certified apparatus. With knowledge of i.s. system design, Engineers can build control and monitoring equipment in virtually any zone without needing to get the system re-certified. The only requirement for an i.s. system designer is ‘verified competence’ and this course delivers the knowledge and skills verification necessary for core competence in intrinsically safe system design. Who should attend? This course is aimed at Engineers and Engineering Managers who are required to specify or design intrinsically safe systems using barrier, simple apparatus and certified intrinsically safe apparatus.

Become Certified to Design, Check and Sign DSD’s for Intrinsically Safe Systems to EN/IEC 60079 14 & 25

The Presenter: The intrinsic safety training  is presented by an experienced lecturer and practitioner with 2o years experience in this field. ExVeritas are and ATEX Notified Body and IECEx Certification Body and are vastly experienced in  ‘Ex’ and Intrinsic Safety System Design, Verification and  Certification.
