What Is Explosion-Proof Certification

Explosion-proof certification is a critical process designed to verify if equipment complies with established explosion-proof standards through type testing, routine tests, and the issuance of pertinent certificates.

In our country, all electrical equipment intended for use in areas with flammable gases must be engineered with explosion-proof considerations due to the risk of explosions caused by the high temperatures, sparks, and electric arcs that such equipment can generate. These designs are required to meet national standards, undergo inspection by national laboratories, and secure an explosion-proof certification before they can be officially marketed. For such products, the IEC enforces various national mandatory certifications among its international members, including the IECEx international certification and ATEX European Union certification, among others.
