Managing potentially explosive atmospheres is a critical part of industrial safety management. The EU ATEX directives (1999/92/EC and 2014/34/EU) clearly define what is required of operators – yet in practice, the process can be complex, fragmented, and prone to human error.
At Codeax, we have completed hundreds of ATEX assessments across various industries. We know how demanding the work can be – and how much easier and more effective it could be with the right tools. That’s why we developed Codeax ATEX: a digital expert solution that guides, automates, and documents the entire ATEX process from start to finish.
Understanding explosion risk starts with flammability
One of the biggest shortcomings of traditional ATEX assessments is the narrow focus on zone classification. This often overlooks the fundamental safety question:
Where, when, and how could ignition occur?
To assess the likelihood of an explosion, one must understand not only the properties of flammable substances (such as LEL, UEL, flash point, ignition temperature), but also the process conditions, potential ignition sources, and exposure scenarios.
Codeax ATEX integrates flammability assessment directly into the zone classification logic. This reveals real risk areas – and most importantly, enables smarter planning of preventive and impact-reducing safety measures.
Powerful tool that brings everything together
Codeax ATEX unifies all aspects of ATEX requirements into one digital platform. It supports both safety improvement and compliance – in a structured, practical way.
What can Codeax ATEX do?
- Automated zone classification based on legislation (EU directives 1999/92/EC and 2014/34/EU)
- Assessment of flammable substances (gases, vapors, dusts) and zone mapping
- Evaluation of Ex equipment and matching with usage environments
- Structured explosion protection document that meets all regulatory requirements
- Management of key substance properties (LEL, UEL, flash point, ignition temperature)
- All documentation in one place – no more scattered Excel or PDF files
With Codeax ATEX, the entire ATEX process becomes guided, transparent, and easy to audit.
Who is Codeax ATEX designed for?
The tool serves a wide range of professionals and organizations responsible for assessing and managing explosion risks:
- Consulting firms that want to offer their clients a standardized, high-quality ATEX service
- Industrial companies managing the safety and documentation of their own Ex environments
- Safety professionals who need to demonstrate compliance clearly and in real time
- Organizations newly subject to ATEX requirements, who want to perform a preliminary risk screening without a heavy process
Built on practical expertise
Codeax ATEX is backed by deep field experience. Our experts have carried out hundreds of ATEX assessments in sectors such as chemical industry, energy production, process industries, and building systems.
This know-how is directly embedded into the tool’s logic, analysis engine, and documentation models – resulting in a solution that not only ensures compliance but also improves data quality, reduces errors, and accelerates the entire assessment process.
