IECEx Scheme: 
 
A voluntary certification scheme complying with international standards for electrical equipment only for use in explosive atmospheres.
Its aim is to facilitate the international flow of electrical equipment intended to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres (in compliance with one or more international standards defining the type of protective against the risk of explosion) and thus avoiding multiple national certifications and at the same time ensuring an appropriate level of safety. The IECEx certification scheme allows the manufacturers of “Ex-proof” equipment to obtain a Certificate of Conformity that would be accepted in Member States in which this certification scheme is recognized.
