APPENDIX 2

IECEx certification

A2.0

The IECEx Certification Scheme

IECEx is a global certification scheme for explosion
protected  products  which  aims  to  harmonise
international certification standards.  For additional
information  about  the  IECEx  certification  scheme
and to view the BEKA associate certificates, please
visit www.iecex.com

A2.1

IECEx Certificate of Conformity

The BA384G Rate Totaliser and the optional
accessories have been issued with an IECEx
Certificate

of

Conformity

number

IECEx ITS 16.0004X which specifies the following
certification codes:

Ex ia IIC T5 Ga
Ta = -40°C to 70°C
Ex ia IIIC T80°C IP66 Da
Ta = -40°C to 60°C

The  specified  IECEx  gas  and  dust  intrinsic  safety
parameters  are  identical  to  the  ATEX  safety
parameters  described  in  the  main  section  and
Appendix 1 of this manual.

The IECEx certificate may be downloaded from the
BEKA associate ot the IECEx websites or requested
from the BEKA sales office.

A2.2

Installation

The IECEx and ATEX certificates specify identical
safety parameters and installation requirements for
both approvals as defined by IEC 60079-14. The
ATEX installation requirements specified in the main
section and Appendix 1 of this manual may therefore
be used for IECEx installations, but the local code of
practice should also be consulted.
