The course is based on the ATEX directive, the Petroleum Act, NEK 420, EN IEC 60079-14.

EU directive 1992/99/EC (HSE in Ex areas) requires the employer to draw up and maintain an explosion protection document. This document must contain, among other things, a risk assessment, zone map and documentation that all employees who will enter Ex areas have received sufficient and suitable training in explosion protection. In all EU and EEA countries, this must be implemented in the national legislation.

In Norway, this is introduced as a regulatory requirement in: "Regulations on health and safety in explosive atmospheres" often called "FHOSEX".

In the Petroleum Act, there is also a requirement that one has competence: Section 9-7. Qualifications

Licensees and others who participate in petroleum activities must have the necessary qualifications to carry out the work in a responsible manner. Training must take place to the extent necessary.
