Explosion-proof Certification and Assessment Services
Electrical, non-electrical, electronic, and mechanical equipment and systems used in potentially hazardous environments in industries such as offshore oil, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, energy storage, and lithium battery production must comply with relevant standards and/or directive requirements to prove their relative safety when used in potentially explosive environments.
Depending on the application and target market of the product, different national explosion protection certifications are required, such as:
ATEX (ATEX explosion protection certification - EU);
IECEx (International certification);
UKEx (UKCA explosion protection certification - UK);
Ex CCC (China CCC mandatory explosion protection certification);
Ex GB (China explosion protection certificate);
INMETRO Brazil (Brazilian explosion protection certification);
Hazloc (North American explosion protection certification), etc.
欧洲的防爆指令ATEX (2014/34/EU)认证服务
It has been mandatory since July 1, 2003, and was updated on April 20, 2016, replacing the previous explosion protection directive 94/9/EC. This directive applies to both electrical and non-electrical equipment, including: various equipment, protection systems, safety instruments, control instruments, and regulating devices, etc.

· IECEx Certification
IECex——International Electrotechnical Commission System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres
IECEx verifies the compliance of explosion-protected electrical and non-electrical products, facilitating the international circulation of products. All participating explosion protection testing laboratories share and recognize explosion protection test reports, and only require additional testing for "national difference standards".
Factory Inspection and on-site assessment
Explosion accidents pose severe challenges to safe production. Explosive environments formed by combustible dust, gases, mists, and vapors, coupled with incorrect installation and operation of explosion protection equipment, are the most common causes of explosions in production workshops, which can cause significant economic losses. Therefore, operators need to correctly handle industrial processes and equipment installation in combustible substance environments to effectively avoid or reduce accidents.
An independent and impartial safety inspection of explosion protection devices by a third party can effectively verify whether explosion protection equipment is correctly installed and identify relevant compliance or safety issues.
In addition to equipment testing and certification, we provide factory inspection and on-site assessment for product manufacturers in accordance with applicable global explosion protection standards or directives.
