Keep your explosion protection documentation ready before an audit, inspection or process change forces the issue
I prepare and update explosion protection documentation for industrial sites, with a practical engineering focus: hazardous area classification, risk points, missing items and clear next-step recommendations – not just paperwork.
As a first step, a short description, a few photos, existing documents or a layout drawing are enough.
When is this service recommended?
This is not a general ATEX training page. It is for companies that need to clarify, update or prepare explosion protection documentation for a real industrial site.
No documentation, but possible explosion risk
Flammable gas, solvent, dust, flour, powder, granulate, paint, alcohol- or solvent-based processes are present at the site.
Old or outdated documentation
The process, layout, machinery, ventilation, storage or work procedure has changed since the existing documentation was prepared.
Audit, customer or authority inspection expected
You want to avoid last-minute explanations about missing, outdated or inconsistent hazardous area documentation.
The real risk is not that the document doesn't look formal enough
It's that the documentation doesn't reflect the actual site conditions.
Typical situation
There is an old explosion protection document, but the process has changed, new equipment has been installed, ventilation has been modified, storage locations are different, or the hazardous area drawing no longer matches reality.
How I can help
- We check whether the existing documentation is still usable.
- We identify differences between the document and the actual site condition.
- We define whether an update, supplement or new documentation is required.
- We do not only list the gaps; we prioritise them.
- The goal is practical, auditable and defensible documentation.
Hazardous area classification – the basis of every EPD
An explosion protection document stands or falls on the zone classification: where, how often and for how long an explosive atmosphere can be present. This drives the required zones, the equipment category and the protection level (EPL).
Explosion Protection Documentation Preparation / Update – Starter Engineering Package
This package is designed for industrial sites where there is already a specific ATEX documentation issue, but the first step is to understand what must be updated, what is missing and how large the actual scope is.
Net price; the final price depends on scope and site conditions.
Included in the package
- Initial online consultation about the site and process
- Preliminary review of existing documents, drawings and photos
- Site walk-through with ATEX-focused engineering assessment
- Review of existing EPD / hazardous area classification status
- Gap list and recommended next steps
- Written summary for management decision-making
When is this package usually enough?
- For smaller or medium-sized industrial areas
- When an existing EPD must be checked or updated
- When the situation must be clarified before an audit
- When the required documentation scope is not yet clear
- When management needs a clear technical decision basis
Simple and transparent process
We don't start with long consulting rounds. The first goal is to quickly clarify what must be put in order.
Initial request review
You send the basic information: site type, process, hazardous substances, existing documents, drawings and photos.
Preliminary technical direction
I check whether the case is about updating existing documentation, creating new documentation, hazardous area classification or inspection-related questions.
Site assessment
Review of actual process conditions, ventilation, storage, potential ignition sources, Ex equipment and operational practices.
Documentation recommendation
A written summary is prepared showing what is acceptable, what is missing, what must be corrected and what further documentation is required.
Documentation preparation or update
If required, the full explosion protection documentation, hazardous area drawing and action plan can be prepared based on a separate quotation.
Why ATEX-FullCare?
I don't only provide a formal document. I look at explosion protection from electrical, HVAC, process and operational perspectives.
Industrial experience
More than 25 years of electrical and HVAC experience, including significant work in oil, gas and industrial environments.
Practical engineering approach
I don't only check what's written in the documentation. I also check how the plant actually operates.
Clear management decision basis
The result is not only technical wording, but a clear priority list: what should be fixed now and what can be planned later.
Need an ATEX documentation quote?
Briefly describe the site location, the medium (gas or dust), what you need a quote for (pre-screening / zone classification + EPD / periodic ATEX inspection) and your desired deadline. Based on this I'll let you know whether the starter engineering package is enough or a larger documentation scope is needed.
Helpful to send in advance: layout drawings, process descriptions, hazardous-substance lists, safety data sheets, old EPD, hazardous area drawings, Ex equipment lists, photos, audit findings or authority comments.
Frequently asked questions
Does the HUF 460,000 starter package include full explosion protection documentation?
Not in every case. The starter package is mainly for clarifying the situation, performing the assessment, defining the documentation direction and identifying gaps. If full new documentation, detailed hazardous area drawings or a larger documentation scope is required, a separate quotation is prepared.
What if we already have explosion protection documentation?
This is a common situation. In this case I review whether the existing documentation is up to date, whether it matches the actual process and whether an update is sufficient or a new documentation structure is required.
Do you only support electrical ATEX topics?
No. In addition to electrical and Ex equipment, I also consider process conditions, ventilation, storage, bonding, earthing, work procedures and operational rules.
What documents should we send in advance?
Layout drawings, process descriptions, hazardous-substance lists, safety data sheets, old EPD documents, hazardous area drawings, Ex equipment lists, photos, audit findings or authority comments can all be useful.
Do you provide service outside Kecskemét / Bács-Kiskun county?
Yes. ATEX-FullCare is based in the Kecskemét / Bács-Kiskun county region, but site assessments and engineering documentation work can be provided nationwide for industrial projects.
