Can the ATEX certificate be used directly in China? -- Shenzhen ZhongNuo Inspection & Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
ATEX certification is applicable to all EU member states but does not serve as a permit for selling explosion-proof products domestically in China.
We have our own explosion-proof certification system. Explosion-proof products sold domestically must pass our explosion-proof certification, not ATEX certification.
However, this does not imply a lack of recognition for the ATEX certification.
Instead, products that have passed the ATEX certification can enhance their competitiveness.
ATEX certification and explosion-proof certification share many similar reference standards, such as the extensive adoption of IECEx certification standards.
If the product has passed the ATEX certification, it is helpful for applying for the domestic explosion-proof certification.
Of course, domestic explosion-proof products typically go through the explosion-proof certification process first before considering export, followed by the application for ATEX certification.

How long is the validity of an ATEX certificate? Where can I apply for ATEX certification?
ATEX certification is a防爆 directive under the EU's CE certification, with the directive code 2014/34/EU.
Mandatory certification for explosion-proof equipment and products entering the EU market is required, with the product certification standards being EN 60079 and ISO 80079 series.
The specific explosion-proof grade and markings depend on what the product is intended for.
ATEX certification is issued by various institutions, typically following a "product testing + factory audit" certification process.
Currently, only ATEX certificates issued by ECM agencies have a specified validity period, which is 5 years.
Other institutions, such as TÜV, CSA, TI, etc., that issue ATEX certification do not include an expiration date on the certificates.
These require annual on-site audits of the manufacturing facilities for certified products.
Certification validity can be maintained upon passing the review. Of course, if there are updates to standards, a certificate renewal is required.
ATEX certification, although it's an EU explosion-proof certification, can also be applied for by agents in China.
ZhongNuo Inspection applies for ATEX certification and maintains excellent cooperative relationships with international issuing bodies and domestic laboratories.

What are the applications for IECEx certification? -- Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
IECEx is an international certification, and there are several ExCB and ExTL organizations in China as well.
As everyone knows, the process for a company to apply for IECEx certification is rather complex, and the normal certification cycle takes about 5 to 6 months.
During the certification process, it is also necessary to provide and modify various certification materials and technical documents. Many companies have indicated that they cannot accept this.
So, there are also numerous IECEx-certified agents on the market, such as Shenzhen Zhongnuo Inspection Technology Co., Ltd.
We are familiar with the product standards of the IECEx certification (IEC 60079 series) and the system standards (ISO 80079-34).
Familiar with the entire process, capable of assisting in compiling technical documents with the available certification materials.
We can also assist with initial product explosion-proof design and rectification, as well as provide explosion-proof system training for corporate clients.

Can I apply for ATEX certification in China? What institutions can apply for ATEX certification certificates?
ATEX certification generally refers to the EU's explosion-proof certification; explosion-proof products exported to the EU region require this certification.
To apply for ATEX certification, domestic application agencies can be sought, and testing can also be conducted within the country; however, the certifying body must be an EU Notified Body.
Currently, more common are institutions such as Germany's TÜV, Canada's CSA, Slovakia's TI, Italy's ECM, and France's BV.
ATEX certification is divided into different certification models based on the explosion-proof grade.
Certification models vary, as do the costs and requirements. Customers can choose according to their actual needs.
