I worked for 16 years building EX cctv systems for hazardous areas. It was BASEEFA certified, then became ATEX certified. Stainless steel housings containing camera trays, or Junction Boxes, and monitor housings. We also put lightning surge arrestors in EX JB's too. All the cabling, glanding, etc also had to be EX rated. It was a complex, expensive business. We mainly manufactured systems for Oil refineries (Conoco), oil platforms world wide, Chemical plants, Nuclear power stations, and flour mills. It was really interesting work, varied, and got to play with and build some great projects. A lot of the staff did not understand EX equipment at all, or it's importance in safety for hazardous areas. They never lasted long in the job lol...
I am learning tons about working and installing equipment in explosive atmosphere doing my apprentiship through them. The is so much to get around what you you must do as using nylon washers and what all the information on the cert means
No requirement in the UK to specifically produce an Explosion Protection Document. I work as a Process Safety Engineer - which includes DSEAR / hazardous area assessments.
You need to look at the Design, Construction, Modification, Maintenance and Decommissioning Of Petrol Filling Stations Jointly published by the APEA and Energy Institute. Also required is a safety passport to work on Petrol sites.

At .58 Am thinking about petrol stations. And the cars electrics. Let's watch the rest of the video. As my thinks is they say no use of mobile phones. ???
As am thinking sparks how much in a car could spark. What concentration of exclusive gases do we need to be a danger pair cubic meter. I really need to read up on ATEX regulations.
