Technical Standards & Compliance

Paul explaining in a meeting

From Legislation To Applicable Standards

Compliance is about demonstrating that safety is real, not theoretical. Regulators see it, your workforce feels it, and stakeholders trust it.

At 6 Engineering, we combine audits, standards reviews, and best-practice guidance into clear steps your team can act on, whether that’s IEC 61511 alignment, COMAH compliance, or hazardous substance handling.

What Technical Standards & Compliance Covers

Our compliance work brings clarity to a complex landscape. We connect legislation, technical standards, and industry best practice into a single, practical framework for your site. Whether it’s benchmarking against IEC 61511, closing regulatory gaps, or applying lessons learned from past incidents, we focus on actions that both satisfy regulators and strengthen day-to-day safety.

Why Technical Standards & Compliance Matters

Audits alone don’t make a site safe. Standards and compliance requirements only work if they’re understood, implemented, and sustained in daily operations.

By linking technical standards with real engineering practice, we make sure your systems don’t just look compliant on paper, they hold up under regulator scrutiny and protect the people working on site.

Who It’s For

  • Safety managers preparing for inspections

  • Operators working with hazardous systems or substances

  • Engineering teams upgrading or modifying plant systems

  • Businesses under COMAH or other high-hazard regulations

Our Approach

We keep compliance clear and actionable. That means plain explanations of what each regulation demands, roadmaps that your team can realistically follow, and documentation regulators will accept.

We work directly with your engineers, operators, and responsible persons so that compliance becomes part of how the site operates, not a once-a-year exercise.
