What are the differences and connections between the ATEX certification system and IECEx for explosion-proof certifications? -- Shenzhen ZhongNuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
Currently, the ATEX and IECEx standards in Europe are almost identical.
A primary standard is the EN60079 series, another primary standard is IEC60079
Achieve ATEX certification for sale in the EU, obtain IECEx certification,
Theoretically, it can be sold in member countries of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), such as a country that is both a member of the EU and the IEC, where an IECEx certification may not be required.
Apply for ATEX only, as ATEX is a mandatory certification under the CE category.
IECEx is not a mandatory certification. Additionally, similar situations exist for other IEC member countries.
For instance: China, also a member of the IEC,
However, explosion-proof products require a Chinese explosion-proof certification or coal safety certification, and cannot be substituted with IECEx.

What is the IECEx certificate application process? -- Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
IECEx member states' certification bodies recognized and authorized by the IECEx system are referred to as IECEx Certified Bodies (ExCB). Only ExCBs are authorized to conduct IECEx system explosion-proof product certification.
ExCB undertakes the following certification tasks:
1. Accept IECEx certification applications.
2. Organize explosion-proof testing laboratories (ExTL) to conduct explosion-proof type testing for the products applying for certification (including explosion-proof review of drawings and documents, as well as 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 issuance of IECEx certification.
7. Conduct annual supervision for manufacturers already holding an IECEx certification.

Application cycle for ATEX certification at Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
The ATEX certification timeline is dependent on the customer's chosen explosion-proof type, protection class, and factory audit status. The specific timeline is subject to actual circumstances.
