The objective of the IECEx System is to facilitate international trade in equipment and services for use in explosive atmospheres

• Reduced testing and certification costs to manufacturer
• Reduced time to market
• International confidence in the product assessment process
• One international database listing
• Maintaining international confidence in equipment and services covered by IECEx Certification

As described on www.iecex.com, the IECEx system is an international conformity system where a mark of conformity will be granted by approved IECEx certifiers (ExCBs) located in IECEx participating countries for equipment that is covered by an IECEx Certificate of Conformity and hence has been tested and manufactured under systems that are under ongoing surveillance by ExCBs. It will help governments, safety regulators, and industry to have greater assurance that the equipment being operated or supplied for use in areas where flammable gases and vapors and combustible dusts (termed explosive atmospheres) are present, meet the world's most respected and vigorous safety standards. The IECEx mark is recognized by all participating countries and ensures that Adalet flameproof enclosures can be supplied without the need for additional testing.
