Ignition risk assessment for EAC certification | Open Cert

Issuing a Certificate of Ignition risk assessment:

Sooner or later any manufacturer comes to realize that their products need to be quality-certified. From outside perspective, such terms as certificates, declarations, technical specifications, state registration, durability calculations and others seem red-tape and meticulous. However, if you turn to a deeply-committed professional, it won’t take much to clarify everything and learn how to bring your documents in line with the existing rules.

There is a popular belief among entrepreneurs that a Certificate of Conformity to the EAEU Technical Regulations 012/2011 on equipment used in explosive hazardous areas is a sufficient guarantee of safety.

In fact, it’s not always enough. This Certificate does certify that every element of the equipment meets the requirements of CU TR 012/2011 but it doesn’t ensure fire proof qualities of the whole equipment. In practice, it means that to certify products, along with other documents, the importing company is obliged to provide a certificate of ignition assessment.
