IECEx Quality Assessment Report (QAR)

The manufacturer must ensure compliance with the full requirements of The Equipment Certification Scheme – IECEx 02 Rules of Procedure, and have an ISO 9001 compliant Quality Management System.

An audit (typically one day) will take place annually (under the terms of the IECEx rules) and we are equipped to conduct this, ensuring that you can declare full compliance to the scheme.

If the manufacturer holds an accredited ISO 9001 certificate from a certification body that holds a national accreditation (e.g UKAS, RAB, ANAB) and are a signatory of the IAF MLA, the frequency of the audit may be changed to 18 month periods.

Combined Audits

Where possible, we will combine any audit actions (as well as offering a combined ISO 9001 and QA audit facility) which can cut costs and timescales dramatically. Please contact us for more information.
