DEKRA Product Testing
Do you want to measure and maximize explosion safety for people, material and the environment?
Explosion safety certification
An explosion-proof product and process
Do you manufacture equipment, components or protection systems which are used in explosive atmospheres? Or does your business carry out work in atmospheres where there is a risk of explosion? DEKRA is only too glad to help you bring about safe working practices. We assess the degree to which your products, and the atmosphere in which you produce them, are explosion-proof. Certification acquired through DEKRA will enable you to enter markets worldwide.
Extensive know-how and expertise in explosion safety
We carry out explosion safety testing on your products and working processes. To do this, we combine the expertise of two teams: DEKRA Product Testing and DEKRA Audit. This way we can guarantee that products on the market come with our certification. Our highly qualified teams, operating at a global scale, increase our flexibility, thus making our services quickly available, wherever and whenever. We have offices in the Netherlands, Germany, the United States, Japan and South Korea.
In addition, DEKRA provides support in the form of:
- factory and process safety;
- certification of facilities for IECEx 03-5;
- IECEx 05 certification of personnel in atmospheres potentially at risk from explosion.
Explosion risk according to ATEX
As a European Notified Body, we test, assess and certify organisations in respect of the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU. We do this on the basis of extensive know-how. For example, we are co-founder of the globally recognised IECEx scheme, through which we are able to provide services to both certification institutes (ExCB) and test laboratories (ExTL). In addition, we test, evaluate and certify safety, control, and monitoring devices, such as gas detectors and control systems for pressure casings. We also carry out measurement and testing on your prototypes.
