INTRODUCTION

Title

The application form is a mandatory requirement for all ATEX Notified Bodied, but it is also vital that the project scope is defined and understood before we start, so typically for the Ex certification process you will need to understand or identify if you need:
  • Standards/Protection Concepts that the product has been designed to comply with.
  • Ambient Temperature Ranges of use and equipment environmental conditions.
  • EPL or ATEX Category (or Zone the equipment is required to be used in).
  • Gas/Dust groups and Temperature Class required.
  • Other certifications required (i.e. IECEx, Division 1, INMETRO etc.)
  • Any CE Marking testing that should be conducted in parallel (EMC, LVD etc.).

DOCUMENT REQUIRED
A typical list of things we need for an approvals project (once the quote is accepted) includes:
  • General arrangement and certification drawings.
  • Material Database
  • A representative sample(s) of the product (our testing is often ‘destructive’ so please assume that the samples will be destroyed during testing)
  • Test reports (if applicable).
  • Instructions
  • Compliance statement and/or evidence of compliance (for example, safety component calculations for intrinsic safety)
  • Manufacturer’s ISO certificate If you are new to certification we strongly recommend a pre-compliance review so you fully understand the requirements of certification before you begin.
  • EHSRs

    FAQs

    Only approved IECEx Certification Bodies (ExCBs) can operate within the IECEx Certified Equipment Scheme and issue IECEx Test Reports (ExTRs), and IECEx Quality Assessment Reports (QARs).

    The cost of multiple certifications in terms of both certification costs and time to market are no longer acceptable to industry operating in a global marketplace.  This aspect is the very reason IECEx was born in the first place.

    No, but the frequency of ongoing surveillance audits on manufacturing or service facilities is reduced (the period is 18 months instead 12 months) if your company has ISO 9001 certification.
