13、 or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- IECEx 01 IEC:2005(E) -5- INTRODUCTION The IECEx is a single global certification scheme based on the International Electrotechnical Commissions International Standards. It caters for differing countries whose national standards are either ident
14、ical to those of the IEC or else very close to IEC Standards. The IECEx provides a truly global frame work for the independent assessment and certification of equipment and services associated with explosive atmospheres. The goal is to help reduce costs and time while developing and maintaining unif
15、orm evaluation processes to protect users against equipment and services that are not in line with the required level of safety. Where do you commonly find Ex equipment? Flammable gases, vapours and mists, as well as combustible dusts create potentially explosive atmospheres. Ex equipment in such ar
16、eas include: Automotive refueling stations or petrol stations Oil refineries, rigs and processing plants Chemical processing plants Printing industries, paper and textiles Hospital operating theatres Aircraft refueling and hangars Surface coating industries Underground coalmines Sewerage treatment p
17、lants Gas pipelines and distribution centres Grain handling and storage Woodworking areas Sugar refineries Metal surface grinding, especially aluminium dusts and particles IECEx Options The IECEx Scheme provides both: 1. A single Global Certificate of Conformity that requires manufactures and servic
18、e providers to successfully complete: - Testing and assessment of equipment samples for compliance with IEC Standards; Assessment and auditing of manufacturers premises and service providers; On-going surveillance audits of manufactures premises and service providers. 2. A “fast track” process for c
19、ountries where regulations still require the issuing of national Ex certification or approval by way of global acceptance of International IECEx equipment test and assessment reports (ExTR). IECEx Credibility IECEx accepts the participation of Ex Certification Bodies and Ex Test Laboratories only af
20、ter successful completion of the IECEx Assessment Process, which also includes on-going surveillance. Each Ex candidate Certification Body and Testing Laboratory are subjected to the same IECEx assessment process utilizing the internationally established ISO/IEC Standards and Guides on conformity as
21、sessment supplemented with the IECEx Technical Guidance Documents with world experts in the field of Explosion-Protection being appointed as IECEx Assessors. More Information Further information is available from the official IECEx Website: , containing free copies of the IECEx Rules and Procedures,
22、 from any of the IEC Ex Certification Bodies or directly from the IECEx Secretariat via the coordinates shown on the IECEx website.

24、ion to Standards relating to equipment for use in Explosive Atmospheres”, hereinafter referred to as “the IECEx Scheme”. 2 Object Taking into account the object of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as given in Article 2 of the Statutes, the particular object of the IECEx Scheme, op
25、erated under the authority of the IEC in conformity with the Statutes, is to provide a global frame work for independent assessment and certification of equipment and services associated with explosive atmospheres. 3 Field of application The IECEx Scheme is applicable to such Standards and types of
26、protection and services referred to in clause 2 as approved by its Ex Management Committee (ExMC) and notified to the IEC Conformity Assessment Board (CAB). A list of these types of protection and services shall be published. 4 Governing documents The documents which state the Rules of the IECEx Sch
27、eme and which govern the organization of its work are as follows: a) the Statutes of the IEC; b) the Rules of Procedure of the IEC and the ISO/IEC Directives, unless otherwise specified in the Rules of Procedure of the IECEx Scheme; c) the Basic Rules which define the principles of the IECEx Scheme
28、and which are approved by the CAB; d) the Rules of Procedure which define the working procedures of the IECEx Scheme. The Rules of Procedure are decided upon and amended by the ExMC, in accordance with the voting procedure described in clause 12. The Rules of Procedure of the IECEx Scheme and amendm
29、ents to them shall be notified to the CAB. 5 Membership 5.1 Any country in which there is a Member National Committee of the IEC, as defined in Article 4 of the Statutes of the IEC, may apply for membership of the IECEx Scheme. Membership of IECEx is also open to non-IEC countries under certain cond
30、itions. The Member Body of the IECEx Scheme shall be representative of the national conformity assessment community in Ex equipment. It may be either - the National Committee of IEC, or - a body notified to the IEC by the National Committee of the IEC. Copyright International Electrotechnical Commis
