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, with product certification standards being EN 60079 and ISO 80079 series.
The specific requirements depend on the product's suitability for explosion-proof ratings and markings.
ATEX certification is issued by various bodies, typically following a "product testing + factory audit" approach.
Currently, only ATEX certificates issued by ECM agencies have a specific validity period, which is 5 years.
Other institutions, such as TÜV, CSA, TI, and others, which issue ATEX certification, do not specify an expiration date.
These require an on-site audit of the production facilities for certified products annually.
Certification validity can be maintained upon passing the review. Of course, if standards are updated, a certificate renewal is required.
ATEX certification, though a European Union explosion-proof certification, can also be applied for by an agent domestically.
ZhongNuo Inspection applies for ATEX certification and maintains good cooperative relationships with international issuing bodies and domestic laboratories.
