| Zusammenfassung | In the field of explosion protection, the steady increase in international networking of industry and progressing economic integration have also increased the necessity for standardised systems for the conformity assessment of equipment used in explosion protection, thus lowering trade barriers in the process. The IECEx system is a worldwide standardised test and certification system for explosion protection which is recognised by numerous countries with its numbers growing continuously. The tests are conducted on the basis of international IEC Standards and the certificates issued accordingly. These certificates are recognised in whole or in part by the participating countries and save the manufacturers of Ex equipment the additional expense of multiple approvals. In future, only a single certificate will be necessary to ensure worldwide marketing approval of the products. This growing harmonisation in the conformity assessment of explosion protection can only work if all those involved operate with the same fundamentals and deliver comparable quality. To ensure this, there are standardised regulations based on IEC Standards on the one hand, and now the additional active participation in interlaboratory comparisons. The "PTB Ex Proficiency Testing Scheme" is the first all-embracing proficiency testing program of its kind in explosive protection. It serves as proof of competence and offers the test laboratories a complete system for performance assessment. |
