Planning resources
Prepare a stronger project brief with practical guidance on the product, hazardous area, containers, output, utilities, integration and documentation.
Understand the sequence from SDS and area classification through dosing, static control, line integration, documentation and project support.
Collect the product, pack, zone, performance, utility and delivery information needed for a faster and more accurate machinery review.
Official references
The buyer guide links to HSE, GOV.UK and legislation.gov.uk sources for DSEAR and equipment intended for potentially explosive atmospheres. A competent assessment and project-specific conformity plan remain essential.
Additional planning guides
These guides extend the existing specification content without replacing competent site assessment or project-specific engineering.
Clarify workplace duties, area classification, equipment specification, zone context, ignition sources, earthing, extraction and project hand-offs.
Read the guidePlan samples, test conditions, measurement, sustained output, alarms, cleaning, containment interfaces and the boundary between FAT and SAT.
Read the guideAdditional engineering guide
The new guide separates the workplace control strategy from the machinery connection, monitoring and interlock scope. It covers conductive and insulating containers, product transfer, proof testing, maintenance and the evidence needed for a project-specific review.
Use the product, container and transfer path to prepare a competent static-hazard review rather than relying on a generic clamp or accessory.
Define which connections, monitoring functions and interlocks can be tested at the factory and which installed-earth checks remain for SAT.
Expanded buyer and engineering guides
Automation, operator task, campaigns, changeover, controls and total project scope.
Measured quantity, density, tare, product behaviour and acceptance method.
Build comparable quotations without unsupported headline prices.
Layout, utilities, extraction, earthing, drainage, delivery and SAT.
Isolation, product recovery, flushing, format settings and verified release.
Ex equipment, mechanical risks, product path, parts and return to service.
Release sources, capture, monitoring, commissioning and machine response.
Permissives, cause-and-effect logic, safe states, FAT and SAT.
Question library
The question library organises practical answers by hazardous-area need, zone, container, output, upgrade and nozzle selection, with links back to the detailed machinery and engineering guides.
Start with the dangerous substance, release scenario and competent area classification before selecting equipment.
Compare automation, measurement, container material, handling and sustained-output requirements.
Review retained equipment, nozzles, controls, trials, FAT, SAT and quotation evidence.
Evidence and integration guides
These guides address three project gaps that can remain hidden after a filler type has been selected: whether the complete wetted path is compatible, whether the equipment evidence matches the site duty, and how the open filled pack reaches a secure closure.
Compatibility
Trace tanks, pumps, hoses, seals, valves, meters and nozzles against the exact product and cleaning duty.
Read the compatibility guideEquipment evidence
Connect machine marking, instructions, declarations, drawings and FAT/SAT records to the approved project basis.
Read the documentation guideLine integration
Control the open-container journey, cap presentation, fault response and hazardous-area boundary after filling.
Read the closure guideClassification and control guides
Use IIA, IIB, IIC and T-class information correctly in a filling-machine specification.
Clarify Great Britain market routes without confusing product evidence with DSEAR duties.
Define safe-state signals, alarm response and acceptance testing for the line.

Measurement
Compare what each method measures and the variables that decide repeatability and acceptance.
Read the guide →Inerting
Define oxygen control, monitoring, gas-supply reliability, venting and safe-state logic.
Read the guide →Large packs
Plan the scale, nozzle, pallet, extraction, earthing and overfill interfaces.
Open the project guide →Filling-process selection
Compare Ex protection concepts without assuming one component qualifies the complete filler.
Choose fixed or diving nozzles using foam, splash, vapour, cleaning and pack evidence.
Separate routine fill control from abnormal trips, isolation and containment.
Review pressure, suction, pulsation, compatibility, control and hazardous-area duty.
Measurement and product quality
Use ATEX filling accuracy and checkweighing to define tare, reference checks, density conversion, sample timing and reject handling. This guide complements rather than replaces the existing measurement-method comparisons.
For formulation-specific production tasks, compare finished ink packing and separate resin and hardener packaging. The application pages explain the additional quality evidence needed beyond the nominal fill quantity.
