EPD from igniscon

The Explosion Protection Document (EPD) is the basic safety document which is crucial for all operations where substances capable of forming an explosive mixture with air are present.

Igniscon understands the Explosion Protection Document to be a sophisticated document which should be designed to allow for versatile practical use. We strive to push this concept even further. And we do our best to be at least two steps ahead of our business colleagues.

Our aim is to avoid the situation when the Explosion Protection Document would only be a dead printed paper in a dusty folder. We want it to be a live, frequently used document which is easy to understand and which provides useful information to all members of your team – from the strategic buyer through the safety and fire technician up to machine and equipment operators.

We are continuously developing this concept – it is our representative product and also the flagship of our services.

Our documentation has the following structure:

Please notice some key elements:

EPD from igniscon

  • the header and footer will be customized to your requirements in line with your other corporate documentation
  • hypertext links for easy navigation within the document (to other chapters) and to external documents and/or websites
  • side panel intended for comments and explanations and/or your notes
  • graphic presentation of the technology with color-coded zones

Other attributes of EPD from Igniscon

In addition to the graphic presentation of the operation or technology with color-coded zones, our Explosion Protection Document contains the following bonus features:

  • example of flammable liquids warehouse (illustration of correct ventilation)
  • form V Order for works in premises with explosion hazard
  • transparent attachments with the list of zones, possible leaks, and initiation sources in form of a table
  • each equipment has its own integral chapter on a separate page so the text can be freely amended and new equipment can be added without impairing the overall concept
  • we can prepare graphic work cards for individual machines and workplaces upon request.

Practical and smart solution

Removable pages

All documents are delivered in professional ring binders which can be opened at any time, so it is easy to add new pages or remove no longer existing equipment from the documentation at any time. The documentation is delivered on a USB flash disk in both .pdf and .docx formats so you can update or amend it on your own.

3D models

Included in the EPD delivery are 3D models including relevant viewer (a freeware software for both commercial and non-commercial use) and source 3D model files so you can choose the new view of 3D technology model and create your own technology displays.

Legislative documents

Each delivery includes the package of legislative documents which were used as the basis for preparation of the relevant document so that individual provisions can be directly verified. The USB flash disk also contains photographs and/or video recordings taken during inspection of the operating facility - these are often used by our clients for comparing the state of the technology at the time of document preparation.

Two years' vacation

That is right – you do not have to worry about updating the documents drawn-up by us for two years. We are the only ones on the Czech market to offer free updates to our documents in case your technology changes, you start using new materials, or you move to a different location. The number of updates is not limited and the only costs we charge is the lump sum of CZK 500 to cover the travel costs and printing and posting the updated documents.
