Expert knowledge for manufacturers, developers and ex-managers
Anyone who manufactures or is responsible for explosion-protected devices cannot avoid a quality management system (QMS) according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 80079-34. This standard complements ISO 9001 and is a prerequisite for ATEX or IECEx certification. The compact seminar offered by the House of Technology (HDT) provides practical insights into what really matters for implementation in companies.
🎯 Why this seminar is important
In explosion-prone areas, special requirements apply – not only technically but also procedurally. The standard DIN EN ISO/IEC 80079-34 specifies how a QMS for manufacturers of Ex devices must be structured. It serves as the basis for all relevant testing and approval procedures according to ATEX (2014/34/EU) or IECEx.
The seminar demonstrates how to implement these requirements concretely in the company, what auditors pay attention to, and what documentation obligations exist.
