Technical presentations covering the day to day issues confronting Ex industries such as Oil and Gas installations include practical aspects of "Area Classification", "Installation of Ex equipment and systems", "Inspection of plant and Equipment and "Repair and Overhaul".

World experts share experience and knowledge

The conference will bring together experts from all over the world, involved in international standardization, equipment manufacturing, inspection, repair and overhaul of Ex equipment and systems, and the assessment and certification of personnel competence. Issues concerning requirements and regulations in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region will also be covered.

Through their presentations and direct contact with participants, these experts will be able to share their experience and detailed knowledge on all matters pertaining to the Ex field, such as plant design, principles and practical applications of area classification, installation and repair in compliance to IEC International Standards. They will answer questions, provide advice and give valuable information to anyone involved in the Ex sector.
