Join us at P&J Live to explore the future of workplace safety and digital Ex inspections

Arnlea is delighted to announce that our team will be exhibiting at Safety Expo 2025, taking place on Wednesday 8th October 2025 at P&J Live in Aberdeen.

Representing Arnlea at this year’s Safety Expo will be Claire Murray, Head of Business Development, and Jen Hughes, Marketing Manager. They’ll be on hand throughout the day to connect with attendees, discuss the challenges facing hazardous industries, and showcase how Arnlea’s innovative Nexar Ex inspection software is helping organisations achieve compliance, improve efficiency, and digitally transform their inspection processes.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

What equipment needs ATEX inspection?

Everything in a classified hazardous area. That covers electrical items (motors, lighting, junction boxes, panels, instrumentation) and non-electrical equipment where it has been assessed as a potential ignition source, such as rotating machinery or equipment that could generate static.‍

What standard governs ATEX inspections?

IEC 60079-17 (BS EN 60079-17 in the UK). It defines the three inspection grades, the four inspection types (initial, periodic, sample, special), and the requirements for inspection intervals and documentation.

How often should ATEX inspections be carried out?

IEC 60079-17 states that the interval between periodic inspections should not exceed three years, though this can be adjusted based on a documented risk assessment. Initial inspections must happen before commissioning. Portable apparatus typically needs inspecting every 12 months.

What are the three grades of Ex inspection?

Grade V (Visual) covers defects visible without tools, with equipment energised. Grade C (Close) covers defects found using hand tools and access equipment. Grade D (Detailed) covers defects found by opening enclosures and using test equipment, with the equipment de-energised.

What is ATEX/IECEx inspection?

It is the systematic examination of equipment installed in hazardous areas to verify it remains safe, correctly installed, and compliant with explosion protection standards. The process is governed by IEC 60079-17 and is a legal requirement under ATEX (in Europe) and DSEAR (in the UK).
