Safety in the workplace is a major concern for all parties, from employers and employees, to regulatory authorities. Among the most destructive of workplace accidents are explosions that cause a devastating loss of life and impact business bottom lines.
Deadly workplace explosions make headlines and are vital reminders of why safety must be taken seriously, especially when working with explosive atmospheres or in hazardous areas. Sites where explosive elements such as flammable liquids, vapours, gases, and combustible dusts are prevalent need specialised workplace precautions.
Some common Ex hazardous zones are petrol and LPG stations, as well as aeroplane refuelling hangars and gas pipelines, and facilities that generate fine dust particles as a result of their operations such as fertilizer manufacturers and wheat mills. Naturally, the oil and gas industry&#;s refineries and offshore rigs are classified as Ex hazardous locations.
The high risk of explosions in these businesses means that companies in this sector need to protect themselves by implementing best practises that would mitigate, if not eliminate, all hazards. Here&#;s where the IECEx certification comes into play.
The IECEx certification (or the IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres) is an Ex certification system of programmes and assessments that certify and verify that equipment and services used in explosive atmospheres comply with safety requirements established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The IECEx system&#;s aim is to ease worldwide commerce in explosive atmospheres-related equipment and services while maintaining the appropriate safety standards. The Ex certification system contributes to global confidence in the manufacture, operation, installation, and maintenance of explosion-proof equipment (Ex equipment).
The system has three Ex certification schemes: the IECEx Certification of Personnel Competence Scheme, the IECEx Certified Service Facility Scheme, and the IECEx Certified Equipment Scheme.
The IECEx Certification of Personnel Competence Scheme ensures that employees working in explosive settings have the necessary skills to properly classify hazardous areas, design, install, inspect, maintain, and repair Ex equipment.

The IECEx Certified Service Facility Scheme governs the Ex certification of facilities that provide repair and overhaul services for Ex equipment. Getting Ex certification under the scheme verifies that essential protocols are in place to guarantee that the equipment&#;s safety is maintained throughout the process.
Equipment used in Ex environments are certified under the IECEx Certified Equipment Scheme, which verifies that all equipment used in Ex environments adhere to the IEC&#;s strict international requirements.
The Benefits of Ex Certification under the IECEx system
It is critical for many industrial and manufacturing sectors to get Ex certifications to gain access to international markets. Attaining an IECEx certification is a global stamp of quality and safety assurance which service providers can effectively use to demonstrate their competency.
Additionally, using one coherent system of certifications has significant cost and time benefits as it requires organisations to go through only a single testing and certification regime rather than multiple distinct ones across different locations or countries.
A company can easily fulfil a broad and diverse range of regulatory and stakeholder requirements by using the IECEx system. This then helps to facilitate easier access to international markets, since many countries place a premium on the safety of Ex imports.
EX equipment is specially designed and tested explosion-proof electrical equipment for your applications developed in hazardous location, designed to reliably prevent contact between an explosive atmosphere and ignition sources and thus preclude explosions.
Ensure safety of your workers, equipment and premises in harsh and most demanding environments, where explosions are possible.
