About MIBEX
MIBEX is an independent ATEX and IECEx consultancy founded and run by Michiel Bakker. We support manufacturers and machine builders with the assessment, explosion-safe design and certification of electrical and non-electrical equipment, machinery, assemblies and skids.
Our services focus on the technical application of standards and regulations, providing practical and technically sound solutions.
Experience and Expertise
Michiel Bakker has extensive experience in explosion protection, including product assessment and certification activities at KEMA Quality (now DEKRA Certification).
This background provides MIBEX with in-depth knowledge of ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, IECEx and the technical requirements of the EN IEC 60079 and EN ISO 80079 series of standards.
Our expertise particularly covers Ignition Hazard Assessments, types of protection, technical design assessments and the preparation of documentation for ATEX and IECEx certification.
In addition, experience with inspections, audits and training provides a valuable link between technical standards and their practical application.

Through participation in the Dutch Standards Committee on Explosion Safety, MIBEX is actively involved in the development and revision of explosion protection standards.
Michiel Bakker also holds an internationally recognised IECEx Certificate of Personnel Competence (CoPC): IECEx CP DEK20.0025.
