  • CENELEC are providing a professional and comprehensive E&I ATEX inspection service here at Lianhetech. Their continued support and attention to detail contribute significantly to maintaining site safety and compliance. I also completed my CompEx Ex14 training at their Cramlington facility, which was excellent – well-structured, informative, and delivered to a very high standard.
