Why Commissioning Matters in Ex/HazLoc Environments
Commissioning is a critical phase in any project, especially in hazardous locations where safety, compliance, and operational integrity are paramount. This process involves systematically verifying that all installed equipment meets the required safety standards and functions as intended before being brought into service. In Ex/HazLoc environments, where the risks of explosions or fires are high, the importance of thorough commissioning cannot be overstated.
