What 123ATEX.eu ® does

123ATEX.eu B.V. is a Netherlands-based specialist firm founded in 2018 that provides ATEX and explosion-safety services across consulting, engineering, inspections, certification and training. Its primary end markets are oil & gas and (petro)chemicals, with additional exposure to pharmaceuticals, food (notably dust-explosion risk), inland navigation (ADN 2019), SMEs requiring NEN 1010/3140 inspections, and (semi-)government clients. The company is staffed by more than 25 certified specialists covering E&I, mechanical, ATEX114, ATEX153, gas-dust, IECEx03 and ADN disciplines, and operates from a headquarters in Stellendam plus regional offices in Spijkenisse and Zwolle (the latter opened in September 2024 as a training-led expansion into North Netherlands). Revenues are generated primarily through professional services engagements (risk assessments, Explosion Protection Documents, zoning, ignition assessments, engineering support, periodic and initial inspections) and a structured European-certified training programme that concludes with ATEX Personal Certification issued through ExAM. Pricing is predominantly quote-based, with the 8-day ATEX Masterclass disclosed at €7,250 per participant excluding VAT. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales complemented by event-driven demand generation at industry conferences (World Hydrogen Summit, Industrial Safety Sweden, Contacta) and content marketing via the company website and LinkedIn.

The underlying technology layer comprises the proprietary, web-based Inspection Management Tool launched in September 2025, which digitizes the ATEX inspection workflow with tablet-based data capture, automatic datasheet generation, visual defect prioritization, audit-ready reporting and SAP integration; an Online Learning Platform delivering ATEX Awareness e-learning in Dutch and English; and standards-aligned consulting methodologies mapped to EN 1127-1, NEN-EN-IEC 60079-14/17/19, EN ISO 80079-36/37 and the ATEX 2014/34/EU and 1999/92/EC directives. Revenue mechanics blend project-based consulting/inspection fees with subscription SaaS for the Inspection Management Tool (free one-month trial, custom proposal thereafter) and training fees, with payment terms on the Masterclass staged as 25%/50%/25% across registration, first course day and last course day. The company's competitive position is reinforced by ExNB-certified training provider status (ISO 17024:2012), partnerships with ExNB/EXVA (post their February 2025 merger), ExAM and PBNA, and ongoing collaboration with the Knowledge Center for Explosion and Hydrogen Safety. Named enterprise customers include Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, Vopak, Chemours, Uniper, Lanxess and Tanis, spanning oil & gas, chemicals, energy, logistics and food industries across the Netherlands, Belgium and select European markets.
