What is the difference between ATEX certification and CE certification?
CE certification is a mandatory certification in the EU market, and all equipment and products entering the EU market must pass the relevant CE directive certification.
For instance, there are EMC directives, LVD directives, MD directives, ATEX directives, etc.
Different products require different certification directives; the ATEX directive, for instance, is specifically for explosion-proof equipment and products.
ATEX certification can be likened to the CE certification for explosion-proof products.
Each directive has different applicable standards; the ATEX directive applies to the EN60079 series.
Different explosion-proof types are applicable to different standard series.
For example, EN 60079.1 is the standard for explosion-proof, EN 60079.7 is the standard for increased safety, EN 60079.11 is the standard for intrinsic safety, and so on.

How long is the validity of an ATEX certificate? Where can I apply for ATEX certification?
ATEX certification is a防爆 directive within the EU's CE certification, with the directive code being 2014/34/EU.
Mandatory certification for explosion-proof equipment and products entering the EU market is based on the product certification standards of EN 60079 and ISO 80079 series.
The specific explosion-proof grade and marking depend on what the product is suitable for.
ATEX certification is issued by various bodies, generally following a "product testing + factory audit" approach.
Currently, only ATEX certificates issued by ECM agencies have a specified validity period, which is 5 years.
Other institutions, such as TÜV Rheinland, TÜV Süd, CSA, TI, and others, issue ATEX certification certificates that do not include an expiration date.
These require annual on-site audits of the production 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, though a European Union explosion-proof certification, is also applicable for application in China.
Zhenuo Testing offers ATEX certification application consultation services, boasting good cooperative relationships with international issuing bodies and domestic laboratories.
Familiar with certification standards and procedures, and can provide on-site factory audits. Details can be PM'd for.
