Testing and certification of flameproof hazardous area equipment is a specialist field, and SGS has a longstanding history in it, having certified thousands of products over the past 90 years.

To help provide support to customers with their flameproof equipment, the experienced team at SGS have prepared a comprehensive guide to the design, testing and certification of Ex d equipment.

The 12-page guide has been carefully prepared to assist engineers and manufacturers in the design of flameproof equipment that will satisfy the requirements of IEC 60079-0 and IEC 60079-1. It will help readers to understand key aspects of the standard and proceed to provide meaningful documentation during the certification phase.

Much investment in equipment and people has taken place recently in order to make considerable improvements to flameproof testing timescales and to ensure that SGS's capacity continues to match customer needs. The aim of this guide is to help manufacturers in their preparations for their Ex d certification projects, in order to further reduce the time to certification.
