Business Wire
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to
industries worldwide, is pleased to announce the approval of its
first lab in Canada as an ATEX notified body, providing Canadian
manufacturers of equipment used in explosive atmospheres with a
testing and certification partner to access the European market.
With this new approval, the first for Intertek in Canada, the Group
broadens its testing and certification scope for regional
manufacturers, offering easier access to multiple global
markets
Under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)
between Canada and the European Union, certification agencies
accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) can apply for
notified body status for EU regulations including ATEX Directive
2014/34/EU, which applies to equipment and protective systems
intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Any
manufacturer producing electrical equipment to be used in such
settings in the EU must comply with this directive. As an ATEX
notified body, the Intertek lab in Edmonton is authorized to
evaluate, document and certify that equipment and protective
systems intended for the EU market meet the relevant applicable
provisions of the ATEX Directive.
Sunny Rai, Senior Vice President at Intertek, said: “At
Intertek, our goal is to provide Total Quality Assurance to
manufacturers supplying equipment to hazardous locations and
explosive atmospheres, through our comprehensive assurance,
testing, inspection and certification services. We are delighted to
expand our notified body status to Canada, which will help
manufacturers send their products into the EU and other regions
across the globe quickly and efficiently by providing local access
to evaluation and certification services.”
In addition to its ATEX authorization in Canada, Intertek has
ATEX notified body status at labs in Europe, the United States and
Asia, along with notified body status for multiple directives and
schemes, including the International Electrotechnical Commission
System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use
in Explosive Atmospheres (IECEx), Dangerous Substances and
Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DESAR), and the Gulf Standards
Organization’s G mark. Intertek also has co-licensed and
own-branded certification schemes such as CE marking in the EU and
its ETL mark in North America.
Intertek provides global solutions to the hazardous locations
industry with a proven track record of excellence and success
supporting clients. From the widely recognized ETL mark for North
America to ATEX and IECEx certification, Intertek’s team of
engineers and technicians have the experience and expertise to help
