Whether you operate in manufacturing, energy, chemicals, or food production, we deliver practical solutions that protect people, assets, and operations.
ATEX — short for Atmosphères Explosibles — is the European framework designed to control explosive atmospheres and ensure that equipment used in hazardous zones is safe. In the UK, ATEX requirements are enforced through the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR).
Compliance is not optional. If your workplace handles flammable gases, vapours, mists, or dusts, you must demonstrate that risks are assessed, equipment is suitable, and protective measures are in place. Failure to comply can result in enforcement action, operational downtime, and increased risk to employees and the environment.
At Arthian, we simplify ATEX compliance by combining technical expertise with clear, actionable guidance.
We provide a comprehensive range of services to support duty holders across industries:
