CompEx Certified Installations – Safe, Compliant Work in Hazardous Environments

At Reliance Systems Ltd, our engineers are CompEx certified — the UK’s recognised standard for electrical work in explosive or hazardous atmospheres. This qualification is vital when installing fire detection, security, or CCTV systems in environments with a risk of flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dust.

For clients in industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, food and drink manufacturing, and distilling, this certification ensures that all system installations are carried out safely, legally, and in full compliance with ATEX and IECEx directives.


Why CompEx Certification Matters in Fire and Security:

  • Installation in Hazardous Areas
    • Safe installation of fire detection, alarms, CCTV, and access systems in ATEX Zones 0, 1, 2 (gas) and 20, 21, 22 (dust)
    • Adherence to EX-rated equipment specifications and correct cable glanding and routing
    • Engineers trained to understand ignition sources, zoning, and protection concepts

  • System Commissioning
    • Full testing and verification of system performance under hazardous area requirements
    • Documentation to satisfy HSE, COMAH, and insurance inspections
    • Integration with site-wide emergency shut-off or monitoring systems

  • Ongoing Maintenance
    • Safe inspection and servicing without compromising explosion protection
    • Routine checks in accordance with BS EN 60079 and ATEX 137 requirements
