Must Imported Explosion-Proof Products Obtain Domestic Certification

The process is much simpler if you have an IECEx certificate. You can provide the IECEx test report to domestic agencies for assessment and conversion.

However, if you possess an ATEX certificate, the situation becomes more complicated. An ATEX certificate cannot be directly converted to a domestic explosion-proof certificate; instead, you must reapply using the provided documentation.

In fact, international standards for explosion-proofing are often higher than domestic ones. Foreign explosion-proof equipment certainly meets China’s standards, but domestic regulations don’t permit direct recognition.
