Explosion
Risk Assessment

Explosion risk is not always visible, but its consequences can be severe. At ADIX, we help companies identify, assess and reduce the risks associated with explosive atmospheres caused by dust or gas, using a rigorous, practical approach tailored to each process.

With more than 20 years of experience in industries such as food, chemical, pharmaceutical, recycling and biomass, we carry out assessments based on the real conditions of each plant, combining international standards (ATEX Directives, NFPA standards and IECEx) with hands-on field experience.

What does an explosion risk assessment include?

We identify ignition sources, combustible materials, process conditions, ventilation and maintenance practices to determine the real level of risk in each area.

We assess in accordance with recognized standards such as NFPA 660, NFPA 497, IEC 60079 and the ATEX Directives, ensuring technical and legal validity in different markets.

We perform Dust Hazard Analyses in accordance with NFPA 660, which is key to compliance in markets where this analysis is required or recommended.

We document the hazard scenarios, hazardous area classification, level of compliance and recommended preventive measures.

We verify compliance with the standards that apply to your facilities, equipment and procedures, and propose specific, realistic improvements tailored to your operation.

We have worked at facilities in Europe, Latin America, North America and Asia. This allows us to adapt each assessment to local regulations, technical language and operating context.

Assessing the risk correctly is the first step to preventing it.

At ADIX, we don’t just apply standards: we understand how industrial processes work, and that makes the difference.

Our reports are not just documents: they are tools to act, prevent and protect.
