As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting AEMT members, this recording summarises the key takeaways from our recent webinar on the 2025 changes to IEC 60079-19, the international standard for the repair, overhaul, and reclamation of equipment used in explosive atmospheres. The webinar was hosted by Karl and Peter, two of the AEMT's lead technical trainers, and covered: changes in the new edition of 60079-19, the effects on operations as well as guidance on going forward.
Use of the term 'circular economy' is becoming increasingly widespread and refers

of an explosive atmosphere, known as
