IECExsertifitseeritud

IECExsertifitseeritud refers to a product or service that has been certified according to the IECEx System. The IECEx System is an international certification scheme that aims to facilitate global trade in equipment and services for use in explosive atmospheres. Explosive atmospheres are environments where a mixture of air and flammable substances, such as gases, vapors, or dusts, can ignite and cause an explosion. Equipment designed for these hazardous areas must meet stringent safety standards to prevent ignition.

Certification within the IECEx System means that a product has undergone rigorous testing and assessment by an accredited IECEx Certification Body (ExCB) and an IECEx Testing Laboratory (ExTL). This process ensures that the equipment complies with the relevant International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for equipment used in explosive atmospheres, such as the IEC 60079 series. An IECEx certificate provides assurance to users and regulatory authorities worldwide that the equipment is safe to use in its intended hazardous location.

The IECEx system is built on the principle of mutual recognition. Once a product is certified by an IECEx ExCB, other member countries are expected to accept this certification, reducing the need for redundant testing and certification in different regions. This harmonization streamlines the market access for manufacturers and increases the availability of safe equipment globally. Obtaining IECExsertifitseeritud is therefore a significant advantage for companies seeking to export their products to markets with strict regulations for hazardous area equipment.
