Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd. offers ATEX and IECEx certification consulting services. Proficient in international explosion-proof standards such as IEC 60079, EN 60079, and ISO 80079, we are well-versed in the factory audit systems for international explosion-proof certification. We can provide reference materials, preliminary explosion-proof technology, and factory inspections for certification, offering robust support for enterprises seeking export certification for their explosion-proof products!
Imported explosion-proof equipment now has ATEX certification. How can it obtain domestic explosion-proof certification?
If the imported equipment has a valid ATEX certification, it cannot be converted to a domestic explosion-proof certification.
You must apply for a domestic explosion-proof certificate or explosion-proof 3C certification according to the new product and application process.

ATEX Certification vs. IECEx Certification
ATEX is a mandatory certification in the EU; all explosion-proof equipment in circulation within the EU market must pass the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EC certification to be sold.
IECEx is a voluntary certification and is not mandatory. It is currently not recognized by the EU or North American markets, so products entering these markets require reapplication for certification.
The specific execution standards for explosion-proof certification in the North American market depend on whether the owner opts for the local Division explosion-proof system or the Zone explosion-proof system.

Can the ATEX certificate be used directly in China? -- Shenzhen ZhongNuo Inspection 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 mean we do not recognize the ATEX certification.
Instead, products that have obtained ATEX certification can enhance their competitiveness.
ATEX certification and explosion-proof certification share many similar standards, such as extensively adopting the IECEx certification standards.
If the product has passed the ATEX certification, it is helpful for applying for the domestic explosion-proof certification.
Certainly, domestic explosion-proof products usually apply for explosion-proof certification first, then consider exporting, and apply for ATEX certification.
