Farsight film crew interviewing Arnlea’s senior management team in the office, with professional lighting and camera setup capturing behind-the-scenes footage.

At Arnlea Systems, we’ve been working on something exciting behind the scenes. Over the past few weeks, we welcomed the brilliant team from Farsight into our Aberdeen office to film a brand-new company video.

During their time with us, the crew interviewed our senior management team, captured behind-the-scenes moments of daily life at Arnlea, and highlighted the power of our Ex inspection software, Nexar.

The filming process was a fantastic opportunity to showcase not just our technology, but also the people and values behind it. From insightful interviews to dynamic footage of our software in action, we’re confident the final video will give a fresh perspective on how Arnlea supports the energy sector with digital innovation.

A big thank you goes to Michael Silva, Faustas Talacka, and Callum Simpson for their professionalism and creativity in bringing this project to life. Filming is now wrapped up, and we can’t wait to share the finished results very soon.

Stay tuned — the video will be coming your way soon!

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).
