Shale Shaker Equipment for IECEx Requirements

IECEx certification for shale shaker equipment provides international recognition of compliance with standards for equipment used in explosive atmospheres. Aipu Solids Control supports IECEx requirements for global drilling operations.

IECEx System Overview

The IECEx System is the International Electrotechnical Commission System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Explosive Atmospheres. IECEx provides an internationally recognized means of demonstrating compliance with IEC International Standards for equipment used in hazardous areas. Unlike ATEX, which is a European regulatory requirement, IECEx is a voluntary international certification system accepted in many countries worldwide. For drilling contractors operating equipment across multiple jurisdictions, IECEx certification can simplify compliance by providing a single internationally recognized certification accepted in participating countries.

IECEx Certification Process

IECEx certification involves several components. Equipment certification verifies that equipment design and construction comply with relevant IEC standards for explosion protection. Certified equipment receives an IECEx Certificate of Conformity issued by an approved certification body. The IECEx Conformity Mark provides visible indication of certification. Service facility certification under IECEx covers repair and overhaul facilities, ensuring that maintenance work maintains equipment compliance. Aipu can supply shale shaker equipment with IECEx-certified components including motors, junction boxes, control stations, and instrumentation suitable for the hazardous area classification of the intended operating environment.

Global Recognition and Benefits

IECEx certification is recognized in many countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and others. This international acceptance simplifies equipment deployment across multiple countries. Aipu supports customers requiring IECEx-certified shale shaker equipment by configuring units with appropriate certified components and providing the necessary documentation. With API Q1 certified quality plus IECEx compliance, Aipu shale shakers meet the highest standards for safety in hazardous drilling environments.
