Shenzhen ZhongNuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd. offers ATEX and IECEx certification consulting services. We are well-versed in international explosion-proof standards such as IEC 60079, EN 60079, and ISO 80079. We are familiar with the international explosion-proof certification factory audit system and can provide reference materials, preliminary explosion-proof technology, and factory inspections for certification. We offer robust support for our clients' explosion-proof product export certifications!
IECEx certification utilizes a certification method that includes Type Testing (product testing) + Factory Quality System Inspection + Post-Certification Supervision.
The entire IECEx certification process spans from providing documentation, sample preparation, product testing, factory audit, to issuance of the certificate.

ATEX Certification vs. CE Certification -- Shenzhen ZN Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
CE certification is a mandatory product certification in the EU, serving as a pass to enter the European market.
Products must obtain the CE safety conformity certification to circulate in the EU market.
To demonstrate compliance with the essential requirements of the EU's New Approach for Technical协调 and Standardization Directive.
In compliance with EU requirements, different products are categorized based on their intended use and industry application scope.
Certifications must be conducted according to various directives, fully reflecting Europe's emphasis on factory safety operations and worker health and safety.
ATEX is a防爆 directive within the CE certification, with the directive code 2014/34/EU.
Explosion-proof equipment and products designed for use in hazardous explosive environments.

Which certifications are the ATEX and IECEx certifications from?
ATEX certification is a mandatory certification for explosion-proof products in the EU, which is a防爆 directive under the CE certification, applicable to the EU and its regions. IECEx is an international certification system for explosion-proof electrical products by the International Electrotechnical Commission, and it is voluntary, applicable to member countries of the IECEx system.
Most of the world's major economic powers are members of the IECEx system, including China.
For IECEx and ATEX certifications, ZhongNuo Inspection summarizes the following distinctions:
(1) Application Scope: ATEX certification is applicable to the EU region, while IECEx is applicable to IECEx member countries.
(2) Whether mandatory: ATEX certification is mandatory, while IECEx is voluntary.
(3) Execution Standards, ATEX certification standards are IEC 60079 series, IECEx certification standards are IEC 60079 series
(4) Explosion-proof markings, the ATEX explosion-proof markings are more complex than the IECEx certification markings. You can see it clearly by looking at the examples we provide.
(5) Conversion issues: Currently, ATEX certification cannot be converted to other certificates outside the EU. IECEx member states recognize IECEx certificates directly or indirectly, such as Australia and New Zealand, which directly recognize IECEx certificates. Other IECEx member states (like China) can convert their IECEx certificates into local explosion-proof certificates.

Can ATEX certificates be used directly in China? -- Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing 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.
But this does not mean we do not recognize the ATEX certification.
On the contrary, products that have passed the ATEX certification enhance their competitiveness.
ATEX certification and explosion-proof certification share many similar standards, such as both extensively adopt the IECEx certification criteria.
If the product has passed the ATEX certification, it is helpful for applying for the domestic explosion-proof certification.
Of course, domestic explosion-proof products typically require a certification for explosion-proof before considering export, such as obtaining ATEX certification.
