Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd. is based in South China and specializes in explosion-proof certification and coal safety certification application consulting services, offering a one-stop explosion-proof technology consulting service.
Are explosion-proof lighting fixtures required to obtain an explosion-proof certificate or an explosion-proof 3C certification?
Explosion-proof lighting is a commonly used type of explosion-proof product, applied almost in every explosive environment.
These explosion-proof lighting must pass the tests according to the GB/T 3836 series of relevant standards.
Qualified for testing and obtained an explosion-proof certification, it can then be used in explosive areas.
However, according to the new announcement on market supervision and management, explosion-proof lighting and control devices have been included in the mandatory product certification catalog, i.e., the CCC certification.
The transition period is one year, and as of May 1, 2025, all lighting fixtures and control devices will be required to obtain a mandatory explosion-proof CCC certification, not just an explosion-proof compliance certificate.
Of course, businesses can now also apply for the explosion-proof 3C certification for lighting fixtures.
As of May 1, 2024, various certification bodies have begun accepting application submissions for the CCC certification of explosion-proof lighting fixtures.
Shenzhen Zhongnuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional explosion-proof certification and 3C consulting agency.
We offer comprehensive explosion-proof 3C certification consulting services, including design and modification guidance for explosion-proof products, factory audits for 3C certification, and agency certification acquisition.

What test items are required to apply for an explosion-proof certification?
Explosive-proof products must pass relevant tests to meet the requirements of the explosive-proof standards in order 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?
Let's first give examples of common explosion-proof testing items.
For example, with intrinsically safe products, general test items include appearance and structure inspection, spark ignition test, dielectric strength, battery and battery pack testing, temperature rise test, transient energy test, etc.
Flameproof products mainly undergo tests such as heat and cold resistance, internal ignition without propagation of explosion, shell pressure resistance, IP testing, temperature rise tests, etc.
Diverse test items, tailored to different modules or components of the product.
Each test item ensures that the product meets the explosion-proof standards and achieves the required explosion-proof performance.
If a company is designing explosion-proof products without understanding the explosion-proof standard requirements,
ZhongNuo Inspection can provide guidance services for explosion-proof circuit design and explosion-proof structural design.
Including explosion-proof standards, design key points, drawing guidance, and offering consulting services for explosion-proof testing and certification.

What is the difference between ATEX certification and CE certification?
CE certification is a mandatory certification in the EU market, and all equipment and products entering the EU market must pass the relevant CE directive certification.
For example, there are EMC directives, LVD directives, MD directives, ATEX directives, etc.
Different products are subject to different certification directives.
ATEX Directive is specifically for explosion-proof equipment and products. In essence, ATEX certification can be considered as the CE certification for explosion-proof products.
Each directive has different applicable standards; the ATEX directive applies to the EN60079 series.
Different explosion-proof types are applicable to various standard series.
For example, EN 60079.1 is the standard for explosion-proof, EN 60079.7 is the standard for increased safety, and EN 60079.11 is the standard for intrinsic safety, etc.
