Services

Technical engineering support for industrial risk and compliance.

ExConform supports manufacturers, OEMs, integrators, plant operators and engineering teams across product conformity, explosion safety, process safety, functional safety and technical training. Projects can focus on one technical discipline or combine several where equipment, plant and responsibilities overlap.

Find your engineering route

Start with the problem, not the service name.

Select the situation that most closely matches your project. This identifies the most likely starting discipline; connected services can then be considered where engineering interfaces overlap.

Likely starting route / 01

CE / UKCA Conformity

Suitable where the main question is whether machinery or industrial equipment satisfies the applicable conformity route, responsibilities and technical evidence requirements.

Common triggers
New machinery or equipment
Imported machinery
Several machines being integrated
Existing equipment being modified
Missing technical documentation
Unclear supplier responsibilities
Likely starting route / 02

DSEAR / ATEX & Hazardous Area Classification

Suitable where flammable gases, vapours, liquids or combustible dust may create an explosive atmosphere and the release, zoning and ignition risks need to be assessed.

Common triggers
Flammable solvent or gas introduced
Combustible powder or dust process
Natural gas or hydrogen installation
New ventilation arrangement
Equipment located in a hazardous area
Explosion protection being reviewed
Likely starting route / 03

Process Safety

Suitable where the concern is a process deviation, loss of containment, abnormal operating condition or wider major-hazard scenario requiring structured assessment.

Common triggers
New or modified process plant
HAZID or HAZOP required
Safeguards need to be challenged
LOPA required
Major-accident scenarios identified
Process risk needs documented justification
Likely starting route / 04

Functional Safety

Suitable where risk reduction depends on an instrumented or machinery safety function and its required performance, architecture or verification needs to be established.

Common triggers
Safety PLC or safety relay system
SIL requirement identified
Performance Level verification needed
Guard or interlock function
Shutdown function requires review
Validation evidence is incomplete
Likely starting route / 05

Technical Training

Suitable where engineers, safety teams or compliance personnel need structured understanding of the technical requirements they are expected to apply.

Common triggers
New compliance responsibility
DSEAR / ATEX competency development
CE / UKCA knowledge gaps
Functional safety fundamentals
Engineering team development
Company-specific technical examples

Engineering method

A consistent route from uncertainty to documented action.

The technical method changes between conformity, hazardous areas, process safety and functional safety, but the engineering workflow remains consistent.

01 / SCOPE Define

Establish the system boundary, intended use, interfaces, operating conditions and the decision that needs to be made.

02 / REVIEW Understand

Review drawings, technical evidence, applicable requirements, hazards, assumptions and existing safeguards.

03 / ASSESS Evaluate

Apply the relevant conformity, risk, hazardous-area or functional-safety methodology.

04 / DELIVER Act

Provide clear findings, engineering justification and prioritised practical actions.

Engineering connections

The difficult questions often sit between disciplines.

The services are intentionally connected. One study often creates the technical input for the next stage of assessment.

Machinery risk assessment → Safety function → PL verification
Flammable release → Hazardous Area Classification → Equipment suitability
HAZOP → LOPA → SIL / SIF
Machine integration → Responsibility boundary → Conformity route
Engineering in practice

Technical evidence needs to connect with the real equipment and process.

Drawings, calculations and documentation are important, but engineering decisions also depend on the actual equipment, installation, operating environment and interfaces between systems.

CE conformity assessment documentation Conformity & technical evidence
Industrial hazardous area assessment DSEAR / ATEX & HAC
Industrial process plant Process Safety
Industrial machinery functional safety Functional Safety
Technical engineering training Technical Training
