The depth and ease of understanding a fairly complicated subject. It has given an understanding of what standards and resources are useful.
I found that it really helped my knowledge in ATEX principles, which is crucial to my role as an Instrumentation Engineer.
I wasn’t familiar with cable glanding prior to this course so everything was new to me. Despite this, everything was explained very well, all our questions were welcomed, and the trainer made sure we understood. I also really liked the tasks in the booklet and the physical demonstrations, as this kept us very engaged. Overall the course was amazing and I would definitely recommend it to others.
The training was well structured, informative, and highly relevant to my role. The exercises helped the learning objectives and provided valuable insights into the certification process. Jon was knowledgeable and engaging throughout the session. Overall the training was very beneficial and has improved my confidence in applying the learned concepts in my day to day work.
The standards, explained by the engineers who apply them
Answers to the questions engineers actually ask us: hazardous area classification, Ex equipment marking, DSEAR compliance and what happens in a QAN QAR audit.
All articlesWhat is ISO 80079-34, and do I need to comply?
The quality system standard behind ATEX and IECEx certification, what it requires of a manufacturer, and how to tell whether it applies to you.
ATEX vs DSEAR, what is the difference?
One governs equipment placed on the market, the other an employer's duty on site. Here is where each of them applies, and when both do.
Ex marking strings explained
Every character in an Ex marking string decoded, from protection concept and gas group through to temperature class and protection level.
