Explosion protection document
RD 681/2003 and RD 400/1996, replaced by RD 144/2016, oblige all companies with flammable substances to:
- Evaluate risks
- Adopt preventive measures
- It even directly marks certain technical requirements:
- Use of antistatic footwear and clothing
- Use of equipment with Eex marking
- Suitable work equipment
- Use of explosimeters (as appropriate)

Having an updated DPCE is the best way to reduce risks from handling flammable and/or explosive products, whether liquids or solids.
All equipment in Atex areas must be “checked” every three years (UNE 60079-17). In addition, the explosion protection document must be prepared before the low voltage project is prepared.
