Technical explosion protection measures are always related to organizational measures. The qualification of personnel is therefore an important element of explosion protection. International standards and national laws define the high requirements for persons working in potentially explosive atmospheres, but also for those who plan, install, or maintain explosion-proof installations. IND EX® therefore provides web-based e-learning units. They cannot replace the attendance of conventional continuing education events, but they can be used as basic training for people who are new to the topic of explosion protection or who want to periodically refresh their knowledge.

Extensive research has been conducted over the last decades, enabling experts worldwide to establish standards and guidelines do deal with the hazard of gas and dust explosions. Besides preventive measures to avoid explosions, explosion protection techniques were developed to protect process equipment such as dust collectors, silos, dryers and or cyclones and many others. One of the most common explosion protection measures is explosion VENT.iNG, to reduce occurring explosion pressures in the equipment to an acceptable minimum.In a globalized world, equipment manufacturers are forced to know about many standards and guidelines present in their destination country they are going to supply to. This sometimes can be overwhelming. With VENT.iNG., a software is available which supports the explosion protection expert to apply the two most common explosion VENT.iNG approaches in the world, following EN and NFPA.
