The term · ATEX and IECEx
What “ATEX and IECEx” means for a smartphone
ATEX is the European legal framework for equipment used in explosive atmospheres (Directive 2014/34/EU). IECEx is the international certification scheme built on the IEC 60079 standards. Buyers outside Europe often ask for both: an IECEx certificate is the technical evidence most national regimes build on, while ATEX is the legal route into the European market.
For the IS-04Z1 both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and neither certificate has been issued. The marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4: equipment Group II (surface industry), Category 2 (Zone 1 gas), protection concept ib (intrinsic safety), gas group IIC and temperature class T4.
In Fujairah oil terminals. Fujairah's oil terminals and bunkering operations serve international tankers, so a reviewer would want certificate numbers, markings and schedules of conditions for devices on jetties and in tank farms. A dual ATEX and IECEx route suits shipping, inspection and contractor staff who arrive from many countries. The IS-04Z1 certification is in progress.
