Can you apply for ATEX certification in China? Which institutions can apply for an ATEX certification?
ATEX certification generally refers to the EU's explosion-proof certification; explosion-proof products exported to the EU region must undergo this certification.
To apply for ATEX certification, companies can seek domestic application agencies, and testing can also be conducted domestically; however, the certification authority must be an EU Notified Body (NB).
Currently, more common are institutions such as Germany's TÜV, Canada's CSA, Slovakia's TI, Italy's ECM, and France's BV.
ATEX certification is divided into different certification models based on the explosion-proof grade.
Certification modes vary, as do the costs and requirements. Customers can choose according to their actual needs.
If you are looking to export your explosion-proof products, you can message Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd. for a discussion on specific international explosion-proof certification requirements.

IECEx certification employs a certification method that includes Type Testing (product testing) + Factory Quality System Inspection + Post-Certification Supervision.
The entire IECEx certification process encompasses providing documents, preparing samples, conducting product testing, factory inspections, and issuing the certificate.

How long is the validity of an IECEx certificate? -- Shenzhen ZhongNuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
The IECEx certification is not subject to an expiration date; its validity is maintained through the certification center's regular supervision.
That is what we refer to as factory annual audit/quarterly audit, etc.
