ATEX & explosion risk 1 Jour From 150 000 FCFA

In a nutshell

What this course aims to achieve

Use fire detection equipment specific to ATEX zones

How to detect a fire where the detector itself must not become the ignition source.

Key challenges

A standard detector installed in an ATEX zone creates the very risk it was meant to prevent.
Combine fire detection and gas detection on the same installation.

Learning objectives

Identify the constraints on detection in explosive atmospheres.
Select detection equipment suited to the zoning.
Design the layout and wiring of detectors in the zone.
Organise system verification and maintenance.

Detailed programme

1Refresher on zoning and protection methods.
2Fire detection technologies usable in ATEX zones.
3Intrinsic safety applied to detection loops.
4Layout, cabling and connection in the zone.
5Periodic verification and system maintenance.

Target audience

Fire safety technicians working on ATEX sites
Design offices and detection system installers

Prerequisites

Knowledge of fire detection systems.
Prior explosion risk awareness training.

Learning methods

Technical input and installation case studies.

Learning assessment

Assessment through a detection system design case study.

Scope of application

Equipment installed in the zones falls under Directive 2014/34/EU; its implementation falls under Directive 1999/92/EC and the fire safety rules applicable to the site.
