IECEx System Objective
The objective of the IECEx System is to facilitate international trade in equipment and services for use in explosive atmospheres, while maintaining the required level of safety:

• International confidence in the product assessment process
• One international database listing
• Maintaining International Confidence in equipment and services covered by IECEx Certification

What is an Ex area?
Ex areas can be known by different names such as "Hazardous Locations", "Hazardous Areas" "Explosive Atmospheres", and the like and relate to areas where flammable liquids, vapors, gases or combustible dusts are likely to occur in quantities sufficient to cause a fire or explosion.

Where do you commonly find Ex equipment?
Ex equipment in such areas include:

• Automotive refuelling stations or petrol stations
• Oil refineries, rigs and processing plants
• Chemical processing plants
• Printing industries, paper and textiles
