What is it called explosion proof certification?
Explosion-proof certification is used to determine the equipment in line with the requirements of explosion-proof standards, type test and adaptation of the routine test and issue the relevant certificate of competency. The explosion-proof certificate can be used for Ex devices or Ex components.
Explosion-proof certification of the enterprise requirements: apply for product certification enterprises need to apply through the ISO9000 series certification.
Since the 21st century, with the rapid development of China's oil, chemical industry, mining and other industries, lighting lamps in the production, storage, rescue the use of more and more widely, more and more varieties. It is particularly important to prevent the occurrence of accidental explosions in explosive atmospheres in explosive atmospheres. So in the flammable and explosive environment through the use of national certification bodies certified explosion-proof lights more and more attention.

Note: China GB3836 standard IIC class minimum ignition energy of 19 micro joules, Ⅱ A class minimum ignition energy of 200 micro joules.
The gas grouping and ignition temperature are related to the concentration of combustible gases and air at a certain ambient temperature and pressure.
2. Temperature group (T group)
This is the highest surface temperature of the electrical equipment (assuming an ambient temperature of 40 ° C) associated with the gas ignition temperature, irrespective of the ignition temperature. All flammable gases and their groups are listed in the first part of the standard BS5345.
