Consultancy

Independent expertise for every stage of an Ex project

JCE provides end-to-end consultancy across hazardous-area design, installation and lifecycle management, giving you clear, standards-based guidance from concept to compliance.

What we cover

1. Area classification & risk assessment – identifying ignition sources and defining Zone 0/1/2 or 20/21/22 boundaries
2. Specification & materials selection – choosing the right protection concept (Ex d, Ex e, Ex p, Ex nR, Ex tb, etc.) and corrosion-resistant enclosures
3. Design reviews & gap analysis – verifying drawings, load studies and protection philosophies against ATEX, IECEx, UKEX and NEC 500 requirements
4. Compliance road-mapping – creating certification plans, technical files and notified-body liaison schedules so approvals stay on track
5. Site surveys & troubleshooting – on-site audits to resolve chronic faults, capacity issues or repeat non-conformities, with practical remediation plans
6. Training & knowledge transfer – tailored workshops that upskill your team on installation practice, inspection regimes and record-keeping
