Hazardous areas
Keep your ATEX and IECEx Ex register, IEC 60079-17 inspections, repairs, IS loops, area classification and DSEAR assessments in one place, with QR tags and offline working on site.

Keeping an ATEX and IECEx equipment register accurate is hard when inspections live on paper, IS loop calculations in spreadsheets and DSEAR assessments in documents. The XF App Suite keeps every Ex asset, inspection, repair, termination, loop and zone record together, with QR and NFC tags so inspectors open the right asset on site.
XF Solutions is an industrial engineering business with hazardous area expertise, and the suite encodes the IEC 60079 series the way inspectors use it.
The ATEX and IECEx register of every Ex asset, inspected to IEC 60079-17 with graded defects that become tracked actions.
The ATEX and IECEx register of Ex equipment, plus ordinary plant held as general assets.
Initial, periodic and sample inspections at Visual, Close or Detailed grade.
Repair and overhaul records from workshop to return to service.
Glanding completion records, one per termination.
IS loop verification, area classification with mapped zone extents, and DSEAR assessments.
Intrinsically safe loop verification against entity parameters.
Zone records with source of release, ventilation and mapped extent.
Structured assessments of dangerous substances and explosive atmospheres.
Earth rod and bonding tests, EICR, EIC and PAT certificates, and fixed gas, fire and heat detection.
Earth rod and bonding continuity tests for hazardous area plant.
Certificates for non-hazardous installations and appliances: EICR, EIC, Minor Works and PAT.
Fixed detectors with set points, calibration, bump tests and events.
Barrier Health links each bow-tie barrier to its evidence, including Ex inspections, gas detector tests and permits, so a failed inspection shows as a barrier at risk. Process Hazard Analysis holds HAZOP, LOPA and safety function (SIL) records with proof tests.
Records save on the phone or tablet and sync when signal returns. Open the apps once while connected and they keep working on site.
Findings from inspections, audits, incidents and checks are offered as actions in one Action Tracker, with owners, due dates and effectiveness checks.
Every create, change, delete and restore is written to the audit trail by the database, with who did it and when. Records export as branded PDFs.
Inspectors record, managers approve, admins control people and security. Each person sees only the sites they are given.
A read-only client portal link, or a 48-hour auditor pass, shows your compliance position without an account.
Start with the applications you need. Your organisation sees only the apps it has.
The XF App Suite helps you record and manage work against the standards and regulations named on this page. Using it does not by itself make an organisation compliant, and it does not replace competent people.
Yes. The Inspection Tool follows the IEC 60079-17 schedule for the asset's protection concept (Ex d; Ex e, n and t/tD; Ex i; Ex p) at Visual, Close or Detailed grade. Every item is answered, defects are graded C1, C2 or C3, and each is offered as a corrective action.
Yes. The Equipment Register reads the Ex marking into protection concept, gas group, temperature class and EPL, flags contradictions, and runs an Ex suitability check against the zone before saving. The certificate and nameplate remain the authority.
Yes. XF HALC checks IS loops against IEC 60079-25 entity parameters, including the L/R method and combined L and C, prints loop sheets and descriptive system documents, and writes the verdict back to the register.
Spreadsheet import is available, and imported records are held out of analytics until XF Solutions has cleansed and verified them. Contact us about moving an existing register.
Yes. DSEAR Assessment records substances, zones, controls and actions under DSEAR 2002, and Area Classification holds zone records with source of release, ventilation and a zone extent calculator following IEC 60079-10-1. Results are advisory and signed off by a competent person.
The app works offline on a phone or tablet once opened while connected. Use only devices suitable for the area you are in, under your site's rules; the software does not change a device's suitability.
