Manufacturing
Industrial and process manufacturing facilities increasingly handle flammable liquids, combustible dusts and reactive materials. Disciplined area classification, Ex equipment management and electrical compliance are essential to control ignition risk, satisfy audits and protect production continuity.
Typical Compliance & Integrity Challenges
- Legacy electrical installations not aligned with current NEC or IEC 60079 requirements
- Combustible dust hazards in handling, milling, drying and storage operations
- Hazardous area classification drawings missing, outdated or inconsistent with the field
- Limited internal Ex and hazardous area competency within site teams
- Findings from insurer, corporate or regulatory audits requiring remediation
- Documentation gaps affecting MOC, change control and inspection records
- Unplanned downtime linked to electrical integrity and compliance failures
