Acting
NCC stands out for its competence and technical expertise in all conformity assessment activities, ensuring quality and safety.
IECEx
IECEx Certification: IEC's international system for conformity assessment of “Ex” equipment and services.
Introduction
The IECEx certification establishes an international system for the conformity assessment of equipment and services intended for explosive atmospheres. This certification is essential for manufacturers seeking to meet stringent global safety standards, facilitating exports and eliminating the need for multiple local certifications.
How the process works
1. Request
Fill out the IECEx form for NCC Certifications.
2. Send
Send the completed form; our team will contact you for further information if needed.
3. Evaluation
NCC evaluates the data and establishes the certification conditions according to IECEx rules, sending the commercial proposal.
4. Documentation
After the process begins, the relevant documentation is requested according to IECEx OD 017. Once the documents are reviewed and accepted, the Test Plan and samples are confirmed.
5. Audit
Once the tests are conducted and approved, the factory audit is scheduled (if applicable).
6. Issuance
With the compliance of the assessments, the IECEx certificate is issued and made available on the official website.
7. Maintenance
The maintenance audit is conducted periodically to ensure the validity of the certificate.
8. Expansion
New markets can be added through adjustments or complementary local certification.
What is the Potential of IECEx Certification?
IECEx certification is recognized as a best practice adopted by manufacturers of electrical, electronic, automation, telecommunications, and mechanical “Ex” equipment who wish to export and market their products globally. It verifies compliance with international safety standards for explosive atmospheres and opens doors to new markets.
Advantages of IECEx Certification
Among the main benefits, the following stand out:
- Elimination of the need for multiple local certifications for explosive atmospheres.
- Standardization of evaluation and testing procedures based on IEC 60079 international standards.
- Optimization of audits with reference to the ISO/IEC 80079-34.
- Global recognition that facilitates export and increases competitiveness.
