ATEX Certification vs. CE Certification -- Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
CE certification is a mandatory product certification in the EU, serving as a pass to enter the EU market.
Products must obtain CE safety conformity certification to circulate in the EU market.
To indicate its compliance with the fundamental requirements of the EU's Directive on the New Approach for Technical协调 and Standardization.
According to EU requirements, different products are subject to varying usage and application scopes within industries.
Certifications must be conducted according to various instructions, which fully reflects Europe's emphasis on factory safety operations and worker health and safety.
ATEX is a directive for explosion protection within the CE certification, identified as 2014/34/EU.
Explosion-proof equipment and products for use in hazardous explosive areas.

9. IEC 60079-18 Explosive Atmospheres – Part 18: Equipment protected by “m” type encapsulation

What is the application process for an IECEx certificate? -- Shenzhen ZhongNuo Inspection & Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
Members of the ECEx system who are recognized and authorized by the IECEx system as certification bodies are referred to as IECEx Recognized Application Bodies (ExCB). Only ExCBs are permitted to conduct certification for explosion-proof products within the IECEx system.
ExCB's main certification tasks include:
1. Accept IECEx certification applications.
2. Organize Explosion Proof Testing Laboratory (ExTL) to conduct Explosion Proof Type Testing on the products applying for certification (including explosion-proof review of technical drawings and documents and prototype testing).
3. Review Explosion-Proof Report (ExTR)
4. Conduct factory quality condition inspections for manufacturers applying for certification, compile and review the Factory Quality Condition Report (QAR).
5. Make the decision on certification.
6. Contact the IECEx Secretariat for the issuance of IECEx certification certificates.
7. Conduct annual supervision for manufacturers already holding an IECEx certification.

Domestic explosion-proof certifications cannot be directly converted to international IECEx certifications. This is because the Chinese explosion-proof certification standard GB/T3836 is essentially a direct citation of the gup ji IECEx explosion-proof certification standard (IEC60079). Therefore, having a NEPSI certification does not allow for a direct conversion to IECEx certification.
