What it covers

ECAS-Ex is a specialised, high-value route for electrical equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres (Ex Certificate of Conformity). It is built entirely on IECEx evidence: a Test Report (TR), a Test Certificate (TC), and a Quality Assessment Report (QAR) no older than twelve months — all from IECEx-recognised ExCBs and ExTLs. Because the documentation is specialised and the market is under-served, this is one of the strongest niche pages in the programme.

Frequently asked questions

What is ECAS-Ex?

An ECAS Certificate of Conformity specifically for electrical equipment used in explosive (hazardous) atmospheres, under Cabinet Resolution 23/2016. It is a separate, specialised route from the standard LVE scheme.

What IECEx documents are required?

An IECEx Test Report (TR), an IECEx Test Certificate (TC), and a Quality Assessment Report (QAR) — all from IECEx-recognised ExCBs and ExTLs. We confirm your existing IECEx evidence is acceptable before applying.

How recent must the QAR be?

The Quality Assessment Report must be no older than twelve months. It is not applicable for unit-verification cases. We check the date and flag any gap before submission.
