IECEx is the abbreviation for the International Electrotechnical Commission’s certification system for explosion-proof electrical equipment; it refers to the certification process specifically designed for electrical devices used in industrial sectors such as petroleum, chemicals, coal mining, light manufacturing, food processing, and military industries, where there is a risk of accumulation of explosive gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers. The ultimate goal of the IECEx system is to establish a single standard recognized worldwide – the series of standards for electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres developed by IEC TC31 ； One certificate ---- IECEx Certification of Conformity; one mark ---- IECEx Mark of Conformity. Which standards are applicable for obtaining IECEx certification for explosion-proof equipment? IEC 60079-0:2017 Explosive atmospheres – Part 0: General requirements for equipment. IEC 60079-1:2014 Explosive atmospheres – Part 1: Equipment protected by flameproof enclosures of type “d”. IEC 60079-7:2015 Explosive atmospheres – Part 7: Equipment protected by increased safety type “e”. IEC 60079-11:2011 Explosive atmospheres – Part 11: Equipment protected by intrinsically safe type “i”. IEC 60079-2:2014 Explosive atmospheres – Part 2: Equipment protected by positive pressure enclosures of type “p”. IEC 60079-6:2015 Explosive atmospheres – Part 6: Equipment protected by immersion type “o”. IEC 60079-5:2015 Explosive atmospheres – Part 5: Equipment protected by sand-filled type “q”. IEC 60079-15:2017 Explosive atmospheres – Part 15: Equipment protected by type “n”. IEC 60079-18:2014 Explosive atmospheres – Part 18: Equipment protected by encapsulation type “m”. ISO/IEC 80079-34:2011 Explosive atmospheres – Part 34: Application of quality systems for equipment manufacturing. IEC 60079-28:2006 Explosive atmospheres – Part 28: Protective measures for optical radiation equipment and transmission systems.
