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 CE certification, with the directive code 2014/34/EU.
Mandatory certification for explosion-proof equipment and products entering the EU market is based on the standards of EN 60079 and ISO 80079 series.
Specifically, it depends on what explosion-proof grade and markings the product is suitable for.
ATEX certification is issued by various accrediting bodies, predominantly following a "product testing + factory audit" certification approach.
Currently, only ATEX certificates issued by ECM institutions have a specified validity period, which is 5 years.
Other institutions, such as TUV, CSA, TI, and others, which issue ATEX certification, do not specify an expiration date.
These require on-site audits of the production facilities for certified products to be conducted annually.
Certification validity can be maintained upon successful review. Of course, if there are updates to standards, a certificate update is required.
ATEX certification, although it's an EU explosion-proof certification, can also be applied for on behalf of domestic companies.
ZhongNuo Inspection has applied for ATEX certification and maintains excellent cooperative relationships with international issuing bodies and domestic laboratories.
Familiar with certification standards and procedures, and able to provide on-site factory audits. Details can be messaged for more information.

Can IECEx certification be converted to a domestic explosion-proof certification?
As IEC member states, countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore have already accepted IECEx explosion-proof certification certificates.
Products with an IECEx explosion-proof certification do not require the application of the country's explosion-proof certification for these exports.
China, also an IEC member, but explosion-proof products in China require an application for a Chinese explosion-proof certification or coal safety certification.
This cannot be directly substituted with IECEx.
