Baar (October 26, 2026) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to host an expert webinar, ‘Navigating Challenges in the ATEX & IECEx Product Certification Process’, on November 13, 2026.

Products intended for use in explosive atmospheres must comply with strict safety and regulatory requirements to minimize ignition risks in hazardous environments. Frameworks such as ATEX in Europe and IECEx globally define the processes manufacturers must follow to demonstrate compliance and gain market access.

Achieving certification is technically demanding, requiring detailed design assessment, comprehensive documentation, alignment with quality systems and careful interpretation of standards. As manufacturers increasingly target multiple regions, complexity is further heightened by differing regulatory expectations. At the same time, pressure to accelerate time to market is growing, while safety and compliance must be maintained.

This webinar provides practical insight into the ATEX and IECEx certification process, covering each stage from initial design assessment through testing, certification and ongoing compliance. Common challenges will be explored, including documentation gaps, testing readiness and delays caused by design non-conformities.

SGS experts will also share proven best practices and a structured approach to help manufacturers streamline certification, reduce risk and support efficient access to global markets.

This session will be particularly relevant to professionals in engineering, compliance, certification, quality, R&D, product development and operations working within industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, manufacturing and industrial processing.

Stakeholders are encouraged to register now to gain expert guidance on navigating ATEX and IECEx requirements and bringing compliant products to market with confidence. [https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5493718/F630F5F68D349CE90E6EBB207FFFE3E9?partnerref=PR]
