IECEx international explosion-proof certification
IECEx is the abbreviation of the International Electrotechnical Commission's explosion-proof electrical product certification system,It refers to the certification of electrical equipment specially used in explosive hazardous areas such as petroleum, chemical, coal mine, light textile, grain processing and military industries where explosive gas, steam, dust or fiber may accumulate. Fan Filter Unit: IEC Scheme for Certification to Standards for Electrical Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres

The following standards apply to IECEx explosion-proof certification::

IEC 60079-0:2017

Part 0: General requirements for equipment

IEC 60079-1:2014

Part 1: Equipment protected by "db" flameproof housing

IEC 60079-2:2014

Part 2: Equipment protected by positive pressure housing type "p"

IEC 60079-5:2015


Part 5: Equipment protected by sand filling type "q"

Part 31: Protection of dust-proof ignition equipment with T-type housing

IEC 60079-34:2018

Part 34: Application of Quality Assurance System for Equipment Manufacturers

The goal of IECEx is to be accepted worldwide:

One Standard -- Series Standards for Electrical Equipment for Explosive Hazardous Environments developed by IEC/TC31;One Certificate - IECEx Certification Certificate(IECEx_Certification_of_Conformity); A logo - IECEx Certification Mark of Conformity.

However, at present, only ATEX certificates are approved for explosion-proof products exported from EU countries, not IECEx certificates.Some of the benefits of selecting products with IECEx certification include:(1) To increase market competitiveness, IECEx-certified products show that they have passed a series of tests related to IEC60079 standards and have reliable security.

(2) Expand market circulation. With more than 50 IECEx system member countries, products used for IECEx certification can enter the market faster and shorten the time to market in these member countries.

IECEx Certification Overview

The IECEx certification system includes IECEx02 product certification, IECEx03 service certification, IECEx04 flag license, IECEx05 personnel capability certification, as shown in the figure:


      

IECEx02 product certification stipulates that all explosion-proof products should meet the certification requirements,Certification procedures include the applicant's application for certification、Ex TL for explosion-proof type test、Ex CB conducts on-site inspection on the manufacturer's quality system、Ex CB makes certification decision (issue Ex TR and QAR) 、Ex CB issues IECEx certificate、Published on IECEx website、Ex CB Supervises Certified Enterprises。Product certification is carried out according to IECx OD003, IECEx OD009, IECEx OD017 and operation documents,Require to meet IEC 60079 series technical standard requirements,The quality system of the manufacturer is reviewed according to the IEC OD005 operation document. The certification procedure is simplified as shown in the diagram:


IECEx03 service certification includes the review of repair facilities, equipment and systems, the confirmation of personnel's capabilities, and the final generation of IECEx service certification certificate。In order to meet the requirement of the quality certification for the repair and overhaul of explosion-proof equipment by the use Department of Ex products, IECEx system introduced IECEx service certification on the basis of the certification of explosion-proof products in 2003, including the certification plan for the factory or workshop engaged in the repair and overhaul of explosion-proof equipment.For this reason, the manufacturer of explosion-proof products can apply to become an IECEx service or choose to use the IECEx system service certification manufacturer.

The advantages of applying to become IECEx service by the manufacturer of explosion-proof products are as follows: it can prove the manufacturer's ability to maintain explosion-proof products; If an explosion or fire occurs, it may protect the manufacturer from liability litigation for electrical equipment repaired. It ensures consistency of explosion-proof products in use. Enhances end-user confidence in purchasing products from explosion-proof product manufacturers.The service certification of IECEx03 is based on the operation documents of IECEx OD014, which puts forward specific requirements on the quality system, technical documents, facilities and equipment, and personnel of the explosion-proof equipment repair plant. The operation document IECEx OD 013 specifies the evaluation of Ex service certification. IEC60079-19 specifies the specific requirements.

IECEx05 personnel competency certification provides proof of whether the knowledge and skills of explosion-proof equipment and related staff engaged in explosive environments meet IECEx requirements, whether they master the operating procedures for the safety of hazardous sites, whether they can correctly install, inspect, maintain and repair explosion-proof equipment and systems.IECEx personnel ability evaluation is based on IECEx OD501, IECEx OD502, IECEx OD503, IECEx OD504 operation files. Specific capability units are listed in Table 1. Each unit has specific requirements for personnel's experience, knowledge and skills. Applicants need some technical experience and training experience before applying for evaluation. 001 unit is the base unit, and 001 unit is the base unit before applying for evaluation of other units.

IECEx authentication process



Our company is the professional licensing authority of IECEx, has issued dozens of IECEx and IECExQAR certificates for the whole world. We have been working hard to improve the product quality of our enterprises and help them to move to the next level in the international market.
