PROBLEM

"You need a reliable partner to help you navigate IECEx requirements and maintain compliance effectively, minimizing risk and ensuring operational safety."

Ex-equipment in hazardous areas degrades, ages, and accumulates non-conformances — often invisibly. Without structured, certified inspection, you face regulatory exposure, equipment failure risk, and potential catastrophic incidents.

  • Uncertified or expired Ex-equipment operating in Zone 1 & 2 areas
  • Paper-based inspection records that are incomplete, lost, or unauditable
  • No risk-based prioritisation — everything treated equally regardless of criticality
  • Delayed reporting meaning non-conformances go unresolved for weeks
  • Non-compliance with IEC 60079-17 flagged during PETRONAS / operator audits

Our Differentiator

The Torr Asset
Management App

We replaced paper-based inspection workflows with a fully digital platform that captures data on-site, scores risk automatically, and delivers reports within hours — not days.

Capture on-site in real-time
Inspectors log findings, attach photos, and complete digital checklists directly in the app — no paper, no transcription errors, no delays.
2
RBI engine scores every asset
Our built-in Risk-Based Inspection algorithm automatically surfaces the assets that need attention most — before something goes wrong.
3
Client receives report in under 2 hours
Fully formatted digital reports with photos, findings, and corrective action recommendations — shared the same day as the inspection.

Hazardous Area Classification

Zone Classification — Gas & Dust

Understanding which zone your equipment operates in determines the inspection frequency, protection concept required, and Ex marking needed.

Flammable Gas & Vapour (Group II)
Zone 0 — Continuously Present
Explosive atmosphere present continuously, or for long periods. Rare indoors — typically inside storage tanks, process vessels.
Zone 1 — Likely During Normal Operation
Explosive atmosphere likely to occur during normal operation. Typical for process plant areas, around flanges and valves.
Zone 2 — Unlikely / Infrequent
Explosive atmosphere not likely to occur in normal operation but may do so infrequently. Pump rooms, compressor areas.
Combustible Dust (Group III)
Zone 20 — Continuously Present
Cloud of flammable dust present continuously or for long periods in the air. Typically inside dust containers and silos.
Zone 21 — Likely During Normal Operation
Cloud of flammable dust likely to occur during normal operations — areas around loading/unloading stations.
Zone 22 — Unlikely / Infrequent
Cloud of flammable dust not likely to occur in normal operations but may occur infrequently and for short periods.
