International Electrotechnical Commission System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres.
What is IECEx?
It is the International Electrotechnical Commission System that offers internationally recognized certifications for compliance with the IEC standards. The IEC is responsible for facilitating the Conformity Assessment Systems such as the IECEx System which includes:
- 1. IECEx Certification Scheme for Equipment.
- 2. IECEx Certification Scheme for Service Facilities.
- 3. IECEx Certification for Conformity of Mark Licensing System.
- 4. IECEx Certification of Personnel Competencies (CoPC).
These standards are related to the use of equipment in an explosive atmosphere or hazardous location that is also termed as the ‘Ex’ Area.
Organizations having an IECEx certification also get support in meeting compliance in national schemes and can also nullify the need for any additional testing in most of the cases.
The Objective of IECEx:
The main aim of having the IECEx system in place is to enable the global trade in equipment/ services without compromising safety when used in an Ex area. These are the areas that can be explosive because of the likelihood to have combustive dust, flammable gases, liquids, and vapors in sufficient quantity that may trigger an explosion or start a fire risking several lives.

Benefits of the IECEx System:
When there is no international standard in place, then different manufacturers in various countries start creating these standards themselves, which in turn, can create conflict while trading internationally. As a result, cost and required time increases to re-test and re-certify the equipment or service before allowing it to be used in the Ex Areas. However, the IECEx system offers internationally renowned compliance certifications that are both time and money saving.
Following are the benefits of the system:
- It provides a cost-effective solution to the manufacturer because of reduced testing.
- It reduces the time required to market the equipment.
- Since the IECEx system certification is recognized internationally it adds international confidence in the assessment process.
- It also gives the benefit of listing in the international database.
