About the ATEX audit checklist

When you’re responsible for ATEX compliance, you need a reliable way to verify that every area and device meets the requirements. This ATEX audit checklist helps you standardize inspections, document findings clearly, and keep an organized audit trail. You’ll be able to cover key compliance details, from hazardous area classification to equipment maintenance.

Make compliance easier to manage

The ATEX audit checklist consists of four clear sections: general info, hazardous area classification, equipment selection and installation, and maintenance and training. This structure allows you to move step by step through the audit without missing anything important. Each item is easy to check off, document, and follow up on.

You can use this template to assign roles, log findings directly from mobile devices, and generate consistent reports across locations or teams. 

By working with the checklist, you reduce friction between field teams and compliance managers. Everyone gets access to the same data, and you’re not wasting time tracking down paper forms or looking for updates. 

How to use the ATEX audit checklist effectively

This step-by-step guide helps you get the most out of the template:

  1. Start by customizing the template. Open the checklist in the Lumiform app and adapt it to fit your site-specific needs. You can add instructions, edit field labels, or include mandatory photo uploads to support findings. This ensures your audit reflects the exact hazards and zones you’re working with.
  2. Assign the checklist to a qualified inspector. Choose someone with ATEX knowledge and operational experience. While only one person fills it out, others can review the results in real time via the app.
  3. Conduct the audit on site using mobile. With offline access and GPS capture, the inspector documents conditions on the go. Use rich data types like photos and signatures to support the answers, especially when noting non-conformities or equipment tags.
  4. Flag issues immediately with action tasks. Any failed item or concern can trigger an action. Assign follow-ups directly within the app, link them to specific checklist points, and set due dates to stay on track.
  5. Track audits and performance in the dashboard. After submission, results are logged and visible in Lumiform’s analytics. Use these insights to spot patterns across locations and guide preventive maintenance planning.

Strengthen your compliance process with Lumiform’s tools

Download the template and start working with a tool designed to bring structure and clarity to your audit process. From checkboxes to image uploads and action tracking, you’ll move through audits with greater precision and fewer follow-ups. Assign responsibilities, track findings, and keep documentation clean and centralized.

Frequently asked questions

Who is qualified to carry out an ATEX audit?

ATEX audits should be conducted by someone with technical knowledge of hazardous environments and the specific standards (like EN 60079 series). Aside from knowing the equipment, auditors should also understand risk assessment methods and safety protocols. In many cases, companies appoint a competent auditor or bring in third-party specialists for a more objective review.

How should businesses document non-conformities found in ATEX audits?

When an issue is found, it’s important to record it with clear evidence, such as photos, location details, and references to the failed criteria. Also log who identified it and the timeframe for corrective action. Keeping this structured helps with traceability and follow-up. Use audit records not only to track fixes but also to adjust procedures if recurring patterns emerge.

What’s the difference between zone 0, 1, 2 and zone 20, 21, 22?

Zones 0, 1, and 2 refer to explosive gas atmospheres, while zones 20, 21, and 22 refer to explosive dust. The number reflects how frequently the explosive environment is present. For example, zone 0 means continuous or long periods, while zone 2 means it’s unlikely and brief. Equipment must be matched specifically to the correct zone type and classification.
