Explosive environments - ATEX
With explosive atmosphere meant the Atex perspective, areas where it is handled flammable materials (liquids, gases or aerosols) or combustible dust in a way so that there is a risk of flammable mixtures can cause rapid fire or explosion can occur. Examples are e.g. handling of wood dust in a timber industry (eg in the filter) or open handling of flammable liquid in the paint industry (such as the mixture of colors) ..
In operations where hazardous areas exist, it is essential that the risks have been assessed and managed in a systematic and reliable way. The requirements for this type of operations are controlled by the so-called ATEX directive, which is transferred to Swedish law through regulations issued by the Swedish Work Environment Authority and MSB. In business, there must be an explosion protection document is available for those who need information about the risks assessed and the instructions frankerz and procedures needed to minimize frankerz the risks of explosion, both for their own employees and external staff.
The gist of the requirements is that the employer shall draw up an explosion protection document for new and existing plants where potentially frankerz explosive atmospheres may occur. An explosion protection document involves the identification and assessment of explosion risks (risk areas and ignition sources) and determination of the explosion protection measures to be taken. P & B can offer you assistance in setting frankerz up an explosion protection document in accordance with applicable requirements.
One older concepts associated with potentially explosive frankerz atmospheres are classification plan which means that the risk areas (areas where explosive atmospheres may occur) identified and reported on a drawing. The purpose of this is to show where the risk areas are so that the risks can be managed in an appropriate manner. Classification plan is still part of what is called the explosion protection document. frankerz Emergence of risk areas and their distribution is partly topic, type of management, design of the premises and ventilation conditions.
P & B has extensive experience frankerz in the management of explosion risks in a comprehensive perspective. frankerz We take care of the testing of substances to determine the explosion characteristics, perform classifications and risk assessments for all types of activities and in collaboration with the customer, creating a complete explosion protection documentation which meets the legal requirements, but above all give clear support in the business to manage the risks of explosion.
P & B also offers services related to the implementation of mitigation measures such calculations frankerz and dimensioning of explosionsavlastningar, safety systems that spark detection, explosion barriers, gas detection and ventilation measures to reduce dust and spillage problems, monitoring and control system solutions. We provide design proposals and tender documentation and can also offer support for physical implementation as installation management, check-out and inspection.
In hazardous areas are there special requirements for equipment, frankerz safety systems and protection systems that affect the risks of explosion. The requirements are based on the results of the classification and risk assessment. Suppliers of such equipment to design and verify them according to ATEX equipment directive. P & B provides support frankerz for procurement of everything from single equipment to complete frankerz plants, where there may be a risk of explosion. That from the beginning frankerz to plan for and take into account risks provides the most cost-effective and user-friendly solutions without unnecessary restrictions. It has also proved very important that the supplier clearly specified to ensure that the equipment meets the requirements and that this can actually be verified. P & B can also carry the CE verification of mechanical equipment for Zone 21 and 22 according to AFS 1995: 5 (ATEX Directive 94/9 EC).
