IECEx evaluation schemex.
The IECEx Scheme is a system for confirming the correct and safe construction of explosion-proof equipment. Documents issued by Scheme participants are recognised globally in all countries participating in the IECEx system. In Europe, IECEx certification is optional, however, opening the door for a manufacturer to distribute its products globally throughout the explosive atmospheres industry.
The IECEx certification and testing scheme is based on the TC31 technical committee. The first concept for the organisation was established in 1992, so that already in 2000 the first IECEx tests could be carried out and the first IECEx CoC certificate issued. Since August 2003, the system has been operating on the basis of a publicly accessible website. The language of the IECEx system is English. All issued documents in the scheme (IECEx CoC certificates, ExTR reports, QAR quality system assessments) are freely accessible on the website www.iecex.com, which makes the system transparent because any user can confirm at any time that the equipment in use complies with the requirements set by the IECEx organisation. Just as in Europe the most important document accompanying a product is the EU Declaration of Conformity, with the IECEx system the most important is the certificate, which is available online at all times.
By 2021, 36 countries had joined the IECEx scheme, Poland joined in 2008. J.S Hamilton Poland has the status of ExCB certification body and ExTL testing laboratory,
The overall structure, scope of activities, schemes of conduct and responsibilities are presented in IEC documents published on the website www.iecex.com
An ExCB certification body cannot exist without an associated ExTL testing laboratory. Similarly, a testing laboratory cannot exist without an affiliation with the ExCB.
ExCB and ExTL J. S. Hamilton are located in Siemianowice Śląskie, our scope of activities is IECEx testing and IECEx certification.
The test reports (ExTL) issued by the laboratory (ExTR) are verified by the ExCB unit. The ExCB supervises the testing (scope and test programme) performed by ExTL.
The IECEx CoC certificate can be issued after the body (ExCB) has carried out both laboratory testing (ExTL) and a production quality assurance assessment in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 80079-34.
We specialise in the testing and IECEx certification of Ex electrical equipment and components such as cable entries, cable ducts, insulators, Ex d hollow covers, junction boxes, luminaires, electric and combustion motors, transformers, sensors, transducers, barriers, and a whole range of non-electrical Ex equipment such as pumps, mixers, disolvers, mechanical and pneumatic conveying equipment, cells, gears, brakes, skids, and many others. All in compliance with the following standards:
- IEC 60079-0 – Electrical equipment
- IEC 60079-1 – flameproof enclosure Ex d
- IEC 60079-2 – flameproof enclosure Ex p
- IEC 60079-7 – reinforced construction Ex e
- IEC 60079-11 – intrinsically safe equipment Ex i
- IEC 60079-15 – non-sparking equipment Ex n
- IEC 60079-18 – encapsulation Ex m
- IEC 60079-25 – intrinsically safe systems
- IEC 60079-26 – Category 1 equipment, EPL Ga
- IEC 60079-28 – optical radiation Ex op
- IEC 60079-31 – equipment for dusty atmospheres Ex t
- IEC ISO 80079-36 – non-electrical equipment Ex h
- IEC ISO 80079-37 – Non-electrical equipment Ex h
- IEC/TS 60079-46 – Kits
