Why North West England Has High CompEx Demand
North West England has a significant industrial base including chemical manufacturing in Cheshire, nuclear sites in Cumbria, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food and beverage production. Hazardous area electrical work spans multiple gas and dust zone applications. CompEx certification requirements vary by site but Ex01/Ex03 is typically the minimum for process plant electricians.
Which CompEx Units Do You Need?
Most electricians in North West England working in the North West England chemical and manufacturing industry require:

What the CompEx Assessment Covers
