Explosion-Proof Certification Services
What is Explosion-Proof Certification?
Explosive atmospheres are created by the presence of flammable gases, mists, vapors, or dust.
If ignition occurs, it can lead to serious consequences such as fatalities, injuries, extensive damage to systems and buildings, and even complete shutdowns of industrial operations.
To minimize these risks, many regions require that electrical equipment is installed in explosive atmospheres—and the factories that manufacture them—be verified by a third-party certification body for compliance with explosion-proof regulations.
This verification is known as explosion-proof certification, and it serves as official proof that the equipment meets the safety standards of the region.
