It is not enough for it to be marked with an “Ex.” The right equipment must be used in the right place and in the right way.

The suitability of equipment used in hazardous areas is assessed based on the zone, gas group, temperature class, and installation conditions using Else Group’s engineering approach.

WHAT IS IT?

Exproof equipment compliance assessment is the technical evaluation of whether electrical and non-electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres complies with relevant standards and field conditions.

This assessment does not only verify whether the equipment is certified;
it determines whether it is truly safe to operate in its actual environment.

WHY IS IT NECESSARY?

  • Ex-marked equipment may be selected incorrectly 
  • Suitable equipment may be used in the wrong zone 
  • Installation errors may eliminate the Ex protection characteristics of the equipment 
  • Equipment may lose its safety after maintenance 

Therefore, compliance assessment is not only an inspection, but a critical engineering study that directly affects explosion risk.
