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 also familiar with the international explosion-proof certification factory audit system. We can provide reference materials, preliminary explosion-proof technology, and factory inspections for certification, offering robust support for enterprises' export certification of explosion-proof products!
Can IECEx certification be converted into a domestic explosion-proof certificate? -- Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd.
Currently, the IECEx certification is driven by standards, which is a voluntary certification.
But the IECEx certification is well-recognized in the international market.
Most IECEx member states directly or indirectly recognize IECEx certification.
If the product has obtained IECEx certification,
Provide valid Reports (Ex Reports issued by Ex CBs from other member states of the IECEx system, and Factory Quality Condition Reports (QARs)).
Only a portion of the Testing is required for manufacturers from other member states holding an IEC Ex certificate to apply for their regional certification pathways.
For instance, China, also an IEC member, but explosion-proof products in China require an application for a Chinese explosion-proof certification or coal safety certification.
This cannot be substituted with IECEx. In summary, if a country is a member of the IEC but also has its own mandatory explosion-proof certification,
Typically, it's mandatory to apply for your own explosion-proof certification, rather than simply using an IECEx explosion-proof certification as a substitute.
Of course, at times, it is possible to use the existing IECEx Report (with possibly additional test items to be added).
To convert into a domestic mandatory explosion-proof certification, but it must be confirmed and approved by the application authority.

IECEx explosion-proof certification is conducted through a certification process that includes type testing (product testing), factory quality system inspection, and post-certification supervision.
The entire IECEx certification process spans from providing documentation, preparing samples, conducting product testing, factory inspections, to issuance of the certificate.

What are ATEX certification and IECEx certification?
ATEX is the EU's防爆指令 under the CE certification, and all explosion-proof products used in explosive hazard areas in the EU market must obtain ATEX certification.
It is mandatory, with certification standards being the EN60079 series.
IECEx certification is an international explosion-proof certification applicable to member countries of the IECEx system. Some member countries directly recognize the IECEx certification.
For instance, New Zealand and Australia; some member states can convert their IECEx certification to local explosion-proof certification.
For instance, China is also a member of the IECEx system.
But China has its own explosion-proof certification system, adhering to the standard GB/T3836.
Therefore, products with IECEx certification still need to obtain domestic explosion-proof certification before they can be put into use.

What test items are required to apply for an explosion-proof certificate?
Explosive-proof products require passing relevant test requirements of the explosive-proof standards to obtain an explosive-proof certificate.
Different explosion-proof types, catering to equipment used in various explosive environments, require different explosion-proof testing items.
Many customers also want to know what types of tests are required for explosion-proof products?
What are the specific requirements for the explosion-proof design of the product? Below, we'll first give some examples of common explosion-proof testing items.
For example, with intrinsically safe products, typical test items include appearance and structure inspection, spark ignition test, dielectric strength, battery and battery pack testing, temperature rise test, transient energy test, and more.
Flameproof products primarily undergo tests such as heat and cold resistance, internal ignition without propagation of explosion, shell pressure resistance, IP testing, temperature rise tests, etc. Different testing items,
Each testing item is designed to ensure that the product meets the explosion-proof standards and fulfills the explosion-proof performance requirements for different modules or components of the product.
If a company is designing explosion-proof products and is unaware of the explosion-proof standards requirements,
ZhongNuo Inspection can provide guidance services for explosion-proof circuit design and explosion-proof structural design.
Including explosion-proof standards, design essentials, drawing guidance, and offering agency services for explosion-proof testing and certification.
