Certificates & Accreditations
Quality Assurance Notification (QAN)
CSA Certification is a mandatory requirement for manufacturers of Ex equipment who apply for either an ATEX EU-Type examination and/or an IECEx Certificate of Conformity to have an appropriate quality assurance system in place. The quality assurance is the continued monitoring of systems and processes in relation to those Ex products. The certificate is in conformance with EN ISO / IEC 80079-34:2011.
IECEX Notification
IECEx is a system which provides an internationally accepted means of proving compliance with IEC standards. IEC standards are used in many national approval schemes. IECEx certification can be used to support national compliance, negating the need in most cases for additional testing.
BSI Certificate
BSI is the national standard body of the United Kingdom. It signifies that products or services have been assessed and tested to meet the requirements of a related specification or standard.
