CompEx Mechanical Ex11

This CompEx mechanical (Ex11) course is designed for CompEx certification for mechanical operatives where gas, vapours and dust can create explosive atmospheres. This course has been developed in consultation with industry to ensure the core competence of mechanical workers who operate in hazardous environments. Candidates will learn about safety considerations that should be applied to work areas that contain potentially explosive or flammable atmospheres and the factors that are used to classify their location.

This qualification is suitable for practicing mechanical operatives who are involved in installing, inspecting, and maintaining non-electrical (mechanical) equipment in locations where gases, vapours and/ or dust can potentially create a hazardous area.

To attend this course, you must be a practicing mechanical operative, practicing multi-skilled operative, a mechanical engineer with previous practical experience, an electro-mechanical engineer with previous practical experience or hold a prior CompEx certificate supported by an employer sponsored letter.

Course Content

· Learn how to identify the correct national regulations, directives and IEC/ISO standards which are applicable to hazardous locations containing non-electrical (mechanical) equipment.

· Learn how to identify the correct criteria and descriptors used to classify a hazardous location.

· Recognise the correct characteristics of common hazardous gases, vapours and dusts discussed during the course.

· Learn how to demonstrate an understanding of the basic method and requirements for non-electrical equipment for hazardous locations.

· Learn how to demonstrate an understanding of how certified Ex non-electrical equipment maintains its protection concept and how it is to be selected, installed, inspected and maintained.

· Learn how to demonstrate an understanding of required correct equipment selection and use of correct industry flange installation practices.

· Learn how to demonstrate an understanding of leak testing requirements of installed flange arrangements.

Successful candidates will demonstrate the knowledge and skills to meet the appropriate requirements in the IEC 60079 and ISO 80079 series of standards as well as relevant national standards and directives.

Qualification details

Successful candidates will receive an internationally recognised CompEx Certificate in Core Competence.
