The questions we get from workshops are rarely about the products in the first instance. They are about the regulations: Does the equipment have to be EX classified? What actually applies to the inspection of personnel lifts? Why are the paint cabinets not EX marked when they stand in a space with solvent?
The answers are rarely as complicated as they seem, but they are hard to find in one place. Here we write them down in plain language — without sales talk and without hiding behind regulations. If you have a question we have not answered, get in touch, and it will become the next article.
A buyer who understands why a product is designed the way it is makes a better decision — even if the decision is not to buy from us. We have been in the industry for forty years and believe it pays off in the long run to be the one who explains rather than the one who persuades.
The articles below are written by those of us who work with the equipment every day, not by an agency. Hopefully it shows: they answer questions we actually get, rather than questions that happen to contain the right keywords.
The list grows as the questions come in. If we get the same question from three different workshops, sooner or later it becomes an article here — it is cheaper for everyone than us answering it on the phone thirty times.

Regulations change and interpretations differ between industries and supervisory authorities. The articles here are written to give a useful overview and a shared language to discuss from — they do not replace a risk assessment for your specific facility, and they are not legal advice.
If you are unsure what applies in your case, get in touch. We have seen enough workshops to usually be able to say where the problem tends to lie, and when it is time to bring in someone who knows more than we do.
