Explosive Atmosphere Assessment — ATEX & PESO

An Explosive Atmosphere Assessment evaluates locations where flammable gases, vapours, mists, or combustible dusts may create an explosive atmosphere — assessing the risk of ignition and the adequacy of controls to prevent explosion. It covers the identification of explosive atmosphere zones, the suitability of electrical and non-electrical equipment for use in those zones, and the effectiveness of the overall explosion protection strategy.

ATEX — the European Union directive governing equipment and protective systems in potentially explosive atmospheres — establishes the requirements for equipment used in hazardous areas and is widely referenced in India for facilities supplying to or operating under international standards. PESO — Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation — is India's statutory authority for petroleum storage, LPG, and explosive-related facilities, with specific requirements for equipment approval and facility compliance. EGSS conducts explosive atmosphere assessments that address both ATEX compliance requirements and PESO regulatory obligations — providing facilities with a comprehensive evaluation of their explosive atmosphere risk and the corrective actions needed to ensure personnel safety and regulatory compliance.
