In recent years, the domestic market for explosion-proof electrical products in China has been very active, with an average annual growth rate of 20%. However, the lack of international competitiveness has become a bottleneck for the industry to grow and strengthen. According to statistics, only a small number of explosion-proof electrical products in China are sold in the international market. Some industry experts and companies believe that implementing a certification system for explosion-proof electrical products that is in line with international standards will help improve the technical content and quality of products, promote industrial upgrading, and expand the export trade of explosion-proof electrical products. The most direct way to achieve certification of explosion-proof electrical products in line with international standards is to apply for the IECEx certificate. So:

What are the main advantages of applying for IECEx certification for enterprises?

first,It can directly promote product exports. Since its establishment in 1996, the IECEx International Certification Organization has continuously expanded its number of member countries, certification bodies, and testing laboratories. The number of IECEx certification certificates has also increased year by year, and they have been accepted by more explosion-proof electrical manufacturers and product users. Implementing IECEx certification can eliminate unnecessary duplication of certification and testing internationally while ensuring a moderate level of safety for explosion-proof electrical products. Its ultimate goal is to accept a standard, certificate, and certification mark worldwide, which is conducive to eliminating technical barriers in international trade of explosion-proof electrical products and promoting the development of international trade.

Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and other countries have already accepted the IECEx international certification certificate, and explosion-proof electrical products that have obtained the IECEx certificate no longer need to apply for the country's explosion-proof certification when exporting to these countries. According to the regulations of the IECEx system, IEC member countries that cannot accept the IECEx certificate due to national differences and other reasons should recognize the Ex testing report (ExTR) and factory quality system inspection report (QAR) issued by the Ex certification body (ExCB) of the IEC member country when conducting IECEx certification. Only supplementary tests need to be conducted on the differences in the standards, providing a fast track for manufacturers from other member countries holding the IECEx certificate to apply for certification in other countries or regions. At present, other non IEC member countries are gradually beginning to accept the IECEx certificate, such as Malaysia and other countries.

secondly,It can enhance the credibility, visibility, and reputation of enterprises and products, and increase market competitiveness. Enterprises that have obtained the IECEx certificate can affix the Ex logo on their certified products, and can also publish information or copies of the IECEx certification certificate in manuals, advertisements, promotional materials, etc. At present, China's explosion-proof electrical industry has developed rapidly in recent years, but there is still a significant gap compared to the international advanced level. Therefore, improving product quality, technological level, and brand awareness is an urgent task.

  
In order to strengthen the control of explosion-proof electrical products, the State Administration for Market Regulation recently issued the "Announcement on the Implementation Requirements for the Management of Explosion proof Electrical Products and Other Products from Production License to Compulsory Product Certification", which clearly states that explosion-proof electrical products will be managed from production license to compulsory product certification (CCC certification), and will be officially implemented on October 1, 2019. This indicates that China is strengthening its attention to the explosion-proof electrical industry, which is undoubtedly a good development opportunity for explosion-proof electrical export trade enterprises.
