Electrical equipment with a third-party certificate but not according to IEC Standards or AS/NZS
Standards shall be restricted to circumstances where suitable equipment with a certificate in
accordance with AS/NZS 60079.14: 2022 is not practicable to obtain. AS/NZS 60079.14: 2022 clause
4.4.2.3.1 states that justification for using a third-party certificate may be demonstrated in the form
of a conformity assessment document. Details of such justification shall be included as part of the
verification dossier.

This conformity assessment is a desktop exercise undertaken by Texeco to assess whether the
Herforder Elektromotoren-Werke GmbH u. & Co. KG type DEx 90S/4K Three-phase Motor meets the
equivalent safety objectives of the relevant Australian/New Zealand Standards. This document’s
scope is not to determine if the installed equipment will be safe or to make recommendations
regarding the equipment’s installation or operation but is limited to assessing equipment certification
for use in explosive gas atmospheres.

NOTE:

This CAD only addresses the equivalent level of safety of the equipment’s explosion-protection aspects
and does not consider compliance with any other requirements such as environmental requirements,
electromagnetic radiation, or compliance with AS/NZS 3000 (Australian Wiring Rules).

3. Evaluation Process – EC-Type Examination Certificate

The EC-Type examination certificate was issued by Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in

Germany. PTB hold Notified Body number 0102 in accordance with Article 9 of the Council Directive
of European Communities of 1994 for the European Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) (Appareils destinés à
être utilisés en atmosphères explosives).

PTB operates as an independent certification body principally concerned with electrical and
mechanical equipment intended for installation and use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

The design and testing of the apparatus, as indicated in the EC-Type Examination Certificate, have
been reviewed to determine if it would offer an equivalent level of safety to equipment issued with
an ANZEx or IECEx certificate of conformity.

In conducting this review, the following was considered:

• The equivalence of the standards to which the equipment was certified.

• Registration and compliance of the Certification Body.
• The quality assurance requirements for manufacturing the equipment.

Compliance with Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) for electrical equipment is via a manufacturer’s declaration
that the following two documents have been issued from a European Union Notified Body:

• An EC-Type Examination Certificate to cover the testing of the sample submitted, and
• A Production Quality Assurance Notification (PQAN) to cover factory inspection.

A copy of the EC-Type Examination Certificate PTB 10 ATEX 1041X is attached as Appendix A.

Texeco has not sighted a copy of the confidential test report PTB Ex 10-10175. However, the EC-Type
Examination Certificate was verified as authentic as it was issued directly by a reputable equipment
manufacturer. Texeco is confident that the accredited Ex-Notified Body has conducted all required
assessments and tests.

PTB is accredited against:

• EN ISO/IEC 17025 - Testing and calibration laboratories

• EN ISO/IEC 17065 - Product certification

PTB is accredited with the Zentralstelle der Länder für Sicherheitstechnik (ZLS) to ISO/IEC 17065:2012
to provide product conformity certification.

PTB is also an accepted Test Laboratory and Certification Body and carries out conformity assessments
within the scope of the IECEx equipment systems under the IECEx rules. Therefore, we assess PTB
Baseefa Limited will maintain an equivalent level of certification assurance to bodies issuing ANZEx
certificates of conformity.

5. Evaluation Process – Standards Compliance (ATEX)

The Herforder Elektromotoren-Werke GmbH u. & Co. KG type DEx 90S/4K Three-phase Motor has been
assessed under European Standards (EN) for explosive gas atmospheres. The European Committee
for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) has ratified the EN standards for explosive gas
atmospheres. CENELEC has a close working relationship with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC), and the organisations have formalised the cooperation framework through a
document known as the ‘Dresden Agreement.’ Resulting from this agreement, the IEC and CENELEC
Standards for explosive atmospheres are technically equivalent.

Australia and New Zealand began adopting IEC Standards for explosive gas atmospheres in 1996, and
these Standards are progressively being introduced in parallel with the existing Australian standards.
The original Australian Standards will eventually become obsolete and align with the IEC 60079 series
of Standards with only minor deviations. Consequently, the EN 60079 series of Standards is similar to
the Australia/New Zealand (AS/NZS) 60079.

The EC-Type Examination Certificate PTB 10 ATEX 1041X lists that the Herforder Elektromotoren-Werke
GmbH u. & Co. KG type DEx 90S/4K Three-phase Motor has been designed according to the following
CENELEC Standards for explosive gas atmospheres:

Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres

• EN 60079-0: 2006
– Part 0: General requirements

Explosive atmospheres – Part 1: Equipment

• EN 60079-1: 2007
protection by flameproof enclosures’ d'

Explosive atmospheres – Part 7: Equipment

• EN 60079-7: 2007
protection by increased safety 'e'

The above standards are not recognised in Australia under the ANZEx or IECEx protection schemes.

European Norm (EN) 60079-0: 2006 covers the general requirements for electrical apparatus for
explosive gas atmospheres, regardless of the technique applied. This standard's design and testing
requirements are almost identical to those contained in AS/NZS 60079-0: 2005 - Australian/New
Zealand Standard for Explosive Atmospheres Part 0: Equipment - General requirements.

Conclusion: With minor variation EN 60079-0: 2006 is technically equivalent to AS/NZS 60079-0: 2005.

EN 60079-1: 2007 covers the specific requirements for flameproof (Ex d) equipment. This standard's
construction and testing requirements align with those in AS/NZS 60079-1: 2007 - Australian/New
Zealand Standard Explosive Atmospheres Part 1: Equipment protection by flameproof enclosures 'd'.

Conclusion: With minor variation EN 60079-1: 2007 is technically equivalent to AS/NZS 60079-1: 2007.

Page 8 of 14
EN 60079-7: 2007 covers the specific requirements for increased safety (Ex e) equipment. This
standard's design and testing requirements are almost identical to those in AS/NZS 60079-7: 2006 -
Australian/New Zealand Standard Explosive Atmospheres Part 7: Equipment protection by increased
safety 'e'.

Conclusion: With minor variation EN 60079-7: 2007 is technically equivalent to AS/NZS 60079-7: 2006.

6. Evaluation Process – Manufacturer's Quality System

The manufacturer deems the Herforder Elektromotoren-Werke GmbH u. & Co. KG type DEx 90S/4K
Three-phase Motor to be compliant with Directive 94/9/EC(ATEX). ATEX compliance requires the
manufacturer to lodge an application for assessing its production quality system by a Notified Body of
its choice for the equipment concerned.

The application includes:

• All relevant information for the product category envisaged.

• The documentation relating to the quality system.
• Technical documentation, including a copy of the EC-Type Examination Certificate.

The manufacturer's quality system shall ensure compliance of the equipment as described in the EC-
Type Examination Certificate and with the Directive requirements that apply to them.

The Notified Body then assesses the quality system to determine whether it satisfies the Directive's
requirements. The Notified Body also inspects the manufacturer's premises.

To ensure the manufacturer maintains and applies the quality system, the Notified Body shall:

• Periodically carry out audits of the manufacturer's quality system.

• Provide an audit report to the manufacturer.

As part of the ongoing surveillance, the Notified Body may also pay unexpected visits to the
manufacturer to conduct tests to verify that the quality system is functioning correctly. These
unexpected visits provide a similar level of quality assurance required by the IECEx and ANZEx
schemes.

A copy of the Production Quality Assurance Notification (PTB 99 ATEX N004-6) is attached as Appendix
B of this report. The Production Quality Assurance Notification is referred to as the 'notification of
conformity to type based on internal production control plus supervised product testing’.

A copy of the related IECEx Quality Assessment Report Summary (DE/BVS/QAR14.0009/00) is included
as Appendix C of this report for information.
