TS EN 60079 Conformity Checks and Ex-Proof Inspection

TS EN 60079 Series Conformity Checks

In industrial facilities where explosive environments are present, safety is a legal obligation, not a choice. AES Innovation As such, with our expert engineering staff, we can provide electrical and mechanical equipment services for your facilities. TS EN 60079 We monitor compliance with the standards series at the highest level.


In high-risk sectors such as petrochemicals, natural gas, chemicals, and refining, we prevent workplace accidents and economic losses by minimizing operational errors and assembly defects.

According to legal regulations (Regulation on Protection Against Hazards in Explosive Atmospheres), Ex-Proof equipment must be inspected annually. at least once Periodic inspections are mandatory. AES Innovation manages this process not just as an audit, but as a quality assurance measure for the sustainable safety of your facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

According to the TS EN 60079-17 standard and related regulations, electrical installations in explosive atmospheres must undergo periodic inspections at least once a year. For fixed equipment, this period can be a maximum of 3 years, but annual inspections are the general practice in industrial facilities.

Reports prepared by our authorized engineers certify the inspection body's compliance with the TS EN ISO/IEC 17020 standard. These reports are legally accepted and proven reliable documents in Ministry of Labor inspections and insurance processes.

Defects identified are detailed in the “Findings” column. For equipment that receives a “Must be Used Until Written Deficiencies are Corrected” result, a repair process must be initiated, followed by a “Follow-up Inspection” by AES Innovation to confirm compliance.

Yes. The mechanical equipment at your facility is also inspected for blast risk according to TS EN ISO 80079-36 and 37 standards.
