INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION IECEx vs ATEX a

INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION IECEx vs. ATEX – a view in the (near) future ATEX Symposium in Ankara, Türkiye 22 – 24 Eylül, 2011 Dr Uwe Klausmeyer IECEx Immediate Past Chairman

Relation of ATEX, CEN/CENELEC, ISO and IEC/IECEx – the EU and UNECE National/ regional TC 31 ATEX Notified Bodies - Nando international New Practice of many ATEX Notified Bodies (which are also IECEx Ex. CB) is to use the elements of IECEx (Ex. TRs, QAR) to issue a EC Type Examination Certificate , the QA Notification and the IECEx Certificate of Conformity

Who is the IEC ? § The International Electrotechnical Commission § Founded in 1906 to promote international co- operation on all questions of standardization and related matters in the field of electrotechnology, including Conformity Assessment (see ISO/IEC CASCO) § Partner for legislation authorities (UN, WTO) § Turkey: P member in IEC/TC 31 and IECEx

Benefits of Preparing Standards and Conformity Assessment thru IEC § § IEC Brand § § § Global recognition WTO + UN recognised + + + More and more IEC Standards adopted Nationally Open and Transparent Process § § § Clearly defined rules (ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Statutes) Transparency in process and results Industry have a say and provide direct input § Direct industry involvement at all levels, eg Management, Committee, MTs and expert WGs

What is IECEx? The single International IEC System with Schemes covering Certification to Standards that relate to Equipment and Services in areas relating to Explosive Atmospheres, to provide an Internationally accepted means of demonstrating claimed compliance with International Standards IECEx is a “Conformity Assessment Tool” providing confidence that Products, Services and Personnel covered by an IECEx Certificate meet specified requirements, (International Standards) “IECEx is the International Standard way of doing Ex Certification”

Schemes within the IECEx System www. iecex. com IECEx Bodies Ex. CBs 39 Ex. TLs 43 IECEx Equipment Scheme Certification of Ex Equipment 3 Types: IECEx “Certificate of Conformity” IECEx “Component Certificate” IECEx “Unit Verification” Cert. Ex. CBs 14 Ex. CBs 11 Ex.
