ATEX certification is a mandatory certification for explosion-proof products in the EU, part of the CE certification's explosion directive, with the directive code 2014/34/EU. The certification standards mainly include EN 60079 and ISO 80079 series, applicable to EU and EFTA countries.
Explosive-proof equipment seeking entry into the EU market must comply with all the standards of the ATEX Directive, which means it requires an ATEX certification.
ATEX certification differs from IECEx certification. IECEx is the International Electrotechnical Commission's explosion-proof electrical product certification system, a voluntary certification applicable to member countries of the IECEx system. In contrast, ATEX certification is mandatory and its explosion-proof marking is more complex than the IECEx certification marking. Furthermore, the ATEX certification certificate cannot currently be converted to certificates from other countries outside the EU, whereas IECEx member countries all directly or indirectly recognize the IECEx certificate.
