Explosion protection document

according to § 6 (9) Gef

According to § 6 (9) GefStoffV, you as the operator are obliged to consider explosion hazards separately in a risk assessment. If these cannot be excluded in principle, e.g. because flammable substances are handled, you are obliged to prepare an explosion protection document.

We offer you the preparation of explosion protection documents in accordance with § 6 (9) GefStoffV, taking into account the current legal situation and the state of the art.

Creation
As part of a site inspection, we assess the local conditions and determine the potentially explosive areas. Based on this, we develop the explosion protection concept which, as the core of the explosion protection document, contains the operating concept, the primary, secondary and tertiary protective measures, the zone classification and a final assessment of explosion safety, taking into account TRGS 725. In addition, the necessary organizational measures and inspection intervals in accordance with BetrSichV are determined and recorded in the explosion protection document. If required, we can carry out an assessment of ventilation measures in accordance with DIN EN 60079-10-1.
Additional support
We are also happy to support you in drawing up the checklist for explosion-protected equipment in accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX) and creating a zone plan.
Necessity
The explosion protection document must be created before commissioning, as it forms the basis for the pre-commissioning inspection in accordance with Section 15 BetrSichV and the instruction of your employees.
