IECEx 05 certificate

With an internationally recognized IECEx 05 certificate you demonstrate your professional competence in the field of electrotechnical explosion safety. The owner of the IECEx 05 personal certification scheme is the IEC ( I nternational E lectrotechnical C ommision), an organization that establishes electrotechnical standards.

IECEx 05 training courses

RelyOn Quercus provides IECEx 05 training for all modules.
The courses are based on the final and test terms of the IECEx Operational Document: IECEx OD 504.
Depending on the module you follow, an IECEx 05 course consists of theory and/or practice.

IECEx Record of Training

At RelyOn Quercus you will receive an IECEx Record of Training  after completing the IECEx course. This
is a certificate that shows that you have completed training at an IECEx approved training institute, an IECEx Recognised Training Provider ( RTP ).

Validity of IECEx Record of Training

An IECEx attestation is valid for three years
. You will receive the Record of Training directly from RelyOn Quercus as an IECEx Recognised Training Provider, for following the course.

In the Netherlands, an IECEx Record of Training is often accepted, due to the legal requirement for sufficient instruction.
Examination is desired by many customers. RelyOn Quercus offers exams as an option for selected IECEx courses.
Upon successful completion of your RelyOn Quercus IECEx exam, you will receive the RelyOn Quercus IECEx exam certificate.

Please note: An IECEx Record of Training and the RelyOn Quercus IECEx examination certificate are not the same as an IECEx Attestation or the IECEx Certificate of Personnel Competence ( IECEx CoPC ).

IECEx Certificate of Personnel Competence (CoPC)

Do you want to obtain an official IECEx 05 personal certificate, also known as a Certificate of Personnel Competence ( IECEx CoPC ) ? Then you must take a theory and/or practical exam at an IECEx ExCB ( IECEx Certification Body ), for which you will receive an IECEx Attestation upon successful completion.

You can then choose to complete the CoPC path by submitting your IECEx Record of Training, IECEx Attestion, and other requirements (experience, CV, and more) to the ExCB as an Evidence File . This is a document in which the ExCB records your specific work experience and acquired knowledge in the field of explosion safety for official assessment by the IECEx organization. After assessment by IECEx, you will then receive your official IECEx 05 CoPC
via the ExCB , and your IECEx CoPC will end up in the publicly accessible database for verification purposes.

An up-to-date overview of the current IECEx CBs can be found here .
The public worldwide database of IECEx CoPC can be found here .

IECEx 05 modules

The IECEx 05 certification scheme consists of 12 modules. These range from awareness of explosion safety to designing electrical installations in Ex areas, and more. The IECEx Operational Document (OD 504) elaborates per IECEx 05 module what you need to know and be able to do to be considered competent in that area. 

  • Ex 000 – Awareness of explosion safety in Ex areas
  • Ex 001 – Applying the basic principles of explosion safety in Ex areas
  • Ex 002 – Carrying out zoning of Ex areas
  • Ex 003 – Installing Ex equipment and cabling

  • Ex 009 – Design of electrical installations in or connected to Ex areas

Should IECEx 05 modules be taken separately or together?

In theory, it is possible to follow a separate course for all IECEx 05 modules and have them examined separately. RelyOn Quercus offers modules combined, namely the technical function profiles per NEN EN IEC 60079 :
Executives, responsible persons and designers.
If you would like to purchase a separate module? Please contact us directly.
