What is a Hazardous Area Verification Dossier?
Every facility operating electrical equipment in a hazardous area – whether a distillery, refinery, mine, or spray booth – must maintain a Verification Dossier. This dossier is the backbone of your compliance system, capturing evidence that your electrical installation has been designed, installed, inspected, and maintained in line with AS/NZS 60079 standards.
A Verification Dossier isn’t just paperwork. It’s a living record that demonstrates your operation’s commitment to safety and compliance. It provides the traceability needed to confirm that all equipment is certified for its zone, all inspections have been completed by competent personnel, and all maintenance and modifications can be linked back to approved documentation. When built and maintained correctly, a dossier ensures that your hazardous area equipment can be trusted to operate safely – protecting both people and productivity.
