Standards Operated by the IECEx

The IECEx System is based on the use of International Standards, such as IEC Standards and ISO Standards. These Standards are dedicated to the highly specialised fields associated with the use of equipment, termed Ex equipment, and installations in areas where a potential may exist of fire or explosion. The Standards listed below are examples of the Standards used by the IECEx System and are available for secure purchase online.

Simply click on any of the Standards below (Links) and this will take you to the IEC Webstore or ISO Webstore where details of the Standards can be reviewed and purchased.
