Ex Assemblies and Non-Electrical Course

Ex Assemblies and Non-Electrical Equipment

 

How to design ‘Ex’ assemblies and non-electrical equipment for DSEAR, ATEX, UKCA and IECEx Certification.

An assembly is a collection of certified equipment that is combined to make a rig or skid or item of equipment with a new or unique function. Normally the electrical equipment is either certified or simple apparatus and in many cases the main electrical parts will also be certified (Ex h) leaving a relatively simple assessment on uncertified parts or components (such as bearings). Often the ‘assembly’ is now also required to be certified by end users, for example as an ATEX or UKCA Unit Verification or an IECEx Assembly Certificate. As ExVeritas issue such certificates, they have  created a unique two-day training course that specifically addresses the skills required to build competence for non-electrical and assembly risk assessment and certification to ISO 80079-36 and 37 (Ex h) and IEC/ISO(TR) 60079-46 

This is a technical course, not an overview. It is aimed at designers or project engineers responsible for design compliance or certification of non-electrical equipment or assemblies.

The Presenter has 20 years’ experience in this field and has a vast wealth of equipment related examples to draw from. He is a current practitioner in non-electrical and assembly certification so you can be assured that the content is relevant and applied with a practical bias. ExVeritas is an ATEX and UKCA Notified Body for non-electrical certification and an IECEx Certification Body for non-electrical certification to ‘Ex h’ and Assemblies to 60079-46.
