Bison Electrical Services offer ATEX installations and inspections in Suffolk and Norfolk and throughout the UK, covering all DSEAR and ATEX compliance needs.
ATEX is rooted in the European equipment directive ATEX 201-34 EU and governed by standards EN 60079-14:2014 for equipment selection and EN 60079-17:2014 for installation and inspection. This framework ensures the safe operation of electrical systems in hazardous areas, such as those containing combustible dust, gases, vapours, or flammable substances.
At Bison Electrical Services based in Beccles, our team is equipped with the necessary expertise and qualifications to handle these challenging environments. All our engineers are CompEx certified, with extensive industrial electrical experience in hazardous areas. Our credentials include qualifications such as the 18th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations, NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation, and ECS certification. Before any work begins, we conduct thorough risk assessments, prioritising the safety of everyone involved.
Our ATEX installation services in Suffolk and Norfolk and across the UK, encompass the full scope of DSEAR and ATEX compliance needs, including testing, inspection, installation and ongoing maintenance. We also offer specialised services such as hazardous area electrical design, installation, and commissioning, as well as control panel design, automation, biogas installations, and servicing of electrical equipment. Our reactive service ensures rapid response to issues like inspection failures or fault detection, minimising downtime and keeping your operations safe and compliant.
ATEX inspections, which are essential to maintaining protective measures, fall into three categories: Visual, Close, and Detailed. According to EN 60079-17:2014, a Visual inspection must occur within 18 months of installation, followed by a Close inspection 18 months later, and a Detailed inspection no later than four and a half years after the initial installation. Depending on the environment and equipment, ATEX inspections may need to occur more frequently to ensure continued safety and compliance.
Bison Electrical Services conduct ATEX installations across Suffolk and Norfolk and throughout the UK. Whether it’s a new project, periodic inspection or urgent repairs, our skilled team is here to deliver reliable, compliant solutions tailored to your needs.
