Ashtead Technology is a global leader in subsea technology and services, providing cutting-edge solutions to clients across diverse industries. To meet the rigorous compliance standards demanded by the global market, Ashtead Technology’s workforce needs to have expert knowledge.
Challenge: navigating the complexities of IECEx equipment certification
As Ashtead Technology continues to expand its reach, ensuring compliance with international standards is vital to maintain its competitive edge. Traditional one-size-fits all training did not meet its specific needs. Ashtead Technology required a tailored training solution that would equip its team with a deep understanding of IECEx equipment certification, a critical requirement for its subsea technology offering.
Solution: a bespoke IECEx equipment certification course
EPIT collaborated closely with the team at Ashtead Technology to design a custom-built IECEx Equipment Certification Guidance course that aligned to its specific requirements. The bespoke course focused on the intricacies of IECEx certification requirements, covering critical topics essential for Ashtead Technology’s international operations, including:
- IECEx certification bodies (Ex CBs) and their role
- Comprehensive documentation requirements
- Equipment preparation for certification
- Labelling requirements to international standards
- Scenario-based product certification exercises
Results: a fully equipped team ready for global compliance
The result was a highly relevant, practical training course designed to provide in-depth knowledge and hands-on skills to meet the needs of its diverse, international client base.
The tailored IECEx certification course has provided Ashtead Technology with:
• In-depth knowledge: employees now possess a thorough understanding of IEC standards and how to implement them across Ashtead Technology’s service lines.
- Enhanced compliance: the training ensures Ashtead Technology’s team is fully equipped to meet global compliance requirements.
- Practical skills: through the hands-on, scenario-based exercises, participants gained valuable practical skills in documentation, equipment preparation, and adherence to IEC standards, empowering them to manage certification with confidence.
- Global impact: the tailored training solution has enabled Ashtead Technology to maintain its competitive edge, with teams capable of providing compliant services to clients worldwide.
By providing Ashtead Technology with a bespoke training course that helps to navigate the complex landscape of IECEx certification, EPIT Group has further solidified its position as a trusted partner in delivering bespoke, high-quality training courses.
