Hi there, I’ve carefully read your project description and I fully understand the requirements for designing a PCB compliant with ATEX / IECEx standards for hazardous environments. With my background in mechatronics and industrial electronics, I have strong experience in PCB design for safety-critical systems, including power management, isolation, thermal control, and robust layout practices. I’m familiar with IEC 60079 principles such as creepage/clearance, energy limitation, component derating, and fault-tolerant design approaches. I can support you with schematic and PCB review or full design, ensure compliance-oriented decisions from the start, and assist with documentation, FMEA, and pre-certification preparation. I can also help structure the design to align with certification body expectations. My approach is to design with compliance in mind from day one—minimizing redesign risk and ensuring a smoother certification path. I’m confident I can deliver this efficiently and professionally. Just send me a message and we can get started. Best regards, Samuel Tshibangu

Hello, I can assist with the design and compliance validation of your PCB intended for hazardous environments, ensuring alignment with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, the IECEx scheme, and IEC 60079 series standards. Designing electronics for explosive atmospheres requires careful control of energy levels, thermal behavior, and fault conditions, and I can support the project through both technical design review and certification preparation. My approach includes: • Reviewing or designing the schematic and PCB layout with compliance to IEC 60079-0 and IEC 60079-11 • Ensuring correct creepage and clearance distances for hazardous environments • Evaluating intrinsic safety (Ex i) protection methods including current/energy limitation • Performing fault analysis (FMEA) to verify safe operation under single-fault conditions • Reviewing component selection and derating for reliability and temperature class limits • Supporting documentation required for ATEX / IECEx certification If needed, I can also assist in preparing materials for pre-compliance review with certification bodies such as TÜV, SGS, or Intertek. I’m available to begin immediately and would be happy to review the current design to estimate the timeline.
