Understanding Ex Equipment Repair — End User Awareness Course

This practical one-day course is designed for anyone responsible for Ex equipment on site, whether that means specifying repairs, managing contractors, reviewing documentation or signing equipment back into service. Based on the requirements of IEC 60079-19:2025, it gives end users a clear understanding of what the standard demands of them, what to expect from their repair contractor, and how to confidently manage the process from the moment equipment leaves site to the point it is signed back.
