XES provides specialist support for equipment and systems used in explosive atmospheres, helping manufacturers, integrators and operators meet their legal obligations under ATEX, UKEX and CE marking frameworks. Our services ensure that both electrical and non-electrical equipment is safe, compliant and appropriately documented.
ATEX & CE
ATEX & CE
Full compliance support for ATEX and CE, drawing on Notified Body experience to guide manufacturers, integrators, and duty holders through certification, documentation and conformity processes.
Expert support with ATEX and CE marking for equipment used in explosive atmospheres, including electrical and non-electrical assemblies. Our consultants bring international certification experience of the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive and ATEX 2014/34/EU.
With a background in Notified Body conformity assessment, we specialise in self-certification strategies for non-electrical equipment, enabling faster routes to market without compromising on safety.
Beyond compliance, we offer comprehensive training programmes and ongoing support, equipping your team with the knowledge and resources to maintain high safety standards.

Design Review
We assess the suitability of equipment and systems intended for use in hazardous areas. Design reviews focus on explosion protection concepts, materials, enclosures, ingress protection, temperature ratings and zoning compatibility to ensure alignment with 60079 series and other applicable standards.
Descriptive System Document (DSD)
We produce and review descriptive system documents that clearly define system architecture, equipment interactions, safety functions and operational constraints. A DSD provides a common reference for compliance, inspection and maintenance, ensuring consistency across lifecycle stages.
ATEX Non-Electrical Equipment
We evaluate and support the self-certification of non-electrical equipment used in zoned environments under the requirements of BS EN ISO 80079-36 and 80079-37. This includes mechanical drives, valves, couplings and other components that could pose ignition risks under normal or fault conditions.
Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) Systems
We provide expert guidance on the design, selection and maintenance of intrinsically safe systems. Our services cover entity certification, loop design, barrier selection, cable routing and inspection, ensuring each I.S. circuit maintains its integrity in line with applicable standards and manufacturer data.
