The Ex001 unit encompass a comprehensive understanding of hazard definition, classification of hazardous materials, risk nature assessment, and the need to eliminate ignition sources. Participants will gain insights into area classification and diverse types of Ex apparatus, correlation between electrical equipment, gas groups, and temperature classes. Additionally, the program aims to develop the ability to recognize and identify various certified equipment, along with the essential skills for visually inspecting different equipment types to meet regulatory requirements.

The Ex002 Unit is an extensive program that delves deep into the intricate principles governing explosive atmospheres, explosion protection, classification techniques, and the indispensable work performance competence required for effective hazardous area classification.

While the Ex003 unit focuses on knowledge of installing Ex equipment, Ex006 equips participants with necessary competency for testing Ex installation. Participants that enroll in this bundled unit typically find themselves equipped with competency of installing and testing explosion-protected equipment.

The Ex003 unit covers general information on Ex installations, fitting requirements associated with various protection methods, specifications for cable extension, identification of equipment and protection methods, and the documentation requirements involved in the installation process.

The Unit Ex006 equips participants with the necessary competencies for testing Ex installations. This includes measuring insulation resistance, conducting functional tests on equipment, identifying and addressing typical faults and defects, and verifying and correcting documentation. The unit ensures that participants are well-versed in the meticulous testing procedures required for ensuring the integrity and safety of Ex installations. The practical emphasis on measuring, testing, and troubleshooting provides participants with hands-on skills critical for successful implementation and maintenance.

The program extends beyond installation practices, encompassing the critical skills required for evaluating the completeness of hazardous area verification dossiers and ensuring compliance with explosion-protected aspects through visual or close inspections.

Special emphasis is given to maintenance of equipment (Ex004 Unit), visual and close inspections (Ex007 Unit) and detailed inspections for electrical and instrumentation equipment (Ex008 Unit)

Ex004 Unit covers the explosion-protection aspects related to the maintenance of explosion-protected equipment and associated wiring systems. This includes the development and management of maintenance programs, incorporating strategies for inspections, repair, overhaul, replacement of components, and recording of maintenance outcomes. The competence required extends to working safely, adhering to standards and manufacturer's instructions, and completing necessary maintenance documentation.

Ex007 Unit encompasses the evaluation of the completeness of a hazardous area verification dossier and the compliance of explosion-protected aspects in electrical installations. The competency required involves working safely in hazardous areas, assessing verification dossiers, identifying certified explosion-protected equipment and their specified locations, inspecting installations for compliance, and reporting and acting on inspection results.

Ex008 Unit focuses on the explosion-protection aspects of conducting initial, periodic, and sample audit inspections of explosion-protected equipment and installations. The competency required includes auditing verification dossiers, working safely in hazardous areas, inspecting against standards, and effectively reporting and acting on inspection results.

The IECEx CoPC Unit Ex009 course delves into the intricate realm of explosion protection within the design of electrical power, control, and instrumentation systems and installations.By focusing on both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, participants develop the proficiency to craft design briefs and pursue cost-effective and efficient solutions for explosion protection. Moreover, the course serves as a preparatory platform for the IECEx CoPC Unit Ex009 assessment, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to meet the rigorous standards and requirements of the industry. Overall, this educational endeavor provides a holistic understanding of the subject, combining theoretical foundations with practical applications to prepare individuals for the complexities of designing and implementing explosion-protection measures in electrical systems.
