Following the success of its participation in the 10th China International Petroleum & Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition (CIPPE) in Beijing, TÜV Rheinland Greater China (TRGC) attended the CIPPE in Shanghai from 1-3 September 2010. During the course of the exhibition, TRGC presented a seminar on ATEX certification, and publicised its one-stop ATEX explosion-proof testing and certification services for the petroleum and petrochemical industries. CIPPE Shanghai 2010, one of the top three petrol and petrochemical exhibitions in the world, attracted more than 500 exhibitors, who showcased their products and services over 30,000 m2 of exhibition space.
TRGC’s ATEX technical seminar was well-received by the more than 100 renowned industry leaders, engineering experts and exhibitors’ representatives in attendance. The seminar was delivered by Mr Xiaolong Zhang, TRGC’s experienced explosion-proof certification manager, who explained the concept of explosion safety certification, introduced the relevant technologies and procedures, and offered an opportunity for interaction with the attendees. The resulting greater awareness amongst enterprises of the ATEX concept has established a good foundation for future cooperation. The long lead-times and tedious procedures are the main problems with ATEX certification in China today. To combat these problems, TÜV Rheinland offers a one-stop service locally for Chinese enterprises. TÜV Rheinland experts will assist the
factory from the application stage to the establishment of an ATEX system, thereby ensuring a smooth certification process. Such quick and efficient attainment of ATEX certification has also noticeably reduced instances of hazardous explosions. TÜV Rheinland has a long history of explosion safety expertise. As the official certification body for the European Union’s ATEX directive and an international IECEx organisation, it is well-experienced in the testing and certification of explosion-protection electrical and non-electrical equipment. The company has offered an ATEX service in China for the past five years and now has rich local service experience. A large team of qualified experts is now available to provide ATEX international services locally.
