Posted By Thomas, Andrew Neil We used AMEC Process Engineering, but I don't know what field you're in. You could try CAsella consultants (L'Pool), Environ there is loads. I hope this helps.

Posted By Neil Tonge The Atex Directive certainly applies but I believe it is concerned more with the requirements for equipment used in classified zones. 0,1,2 for gases and 20,21,22 for explosive dusts rather than zoning itself. The scenario is GRP manufacture (by hand) and I require assistance in the classification of zones for the GRP shop, so I can establish the type of electrical equipment to use in those zones as per the ATEX Directive and DSEAR, I'm thinking, lighting, extraction, portable electrical equipment and FLTs. Many thanks for the referal Andrew, I will contact AMEC and Casella. If anyone has any further advice I would be delighted to hear it. Neil
