Since early 2019, Royal PBNA has been recognized as an IECEx 05 certification agency for certifying people working in hazardous explosive environments. As the first independently operating certification agency in the Netherlands, we are only concerned with examining candidates and certifying people. Our legislation requires that adequate instruction be given to personnel working in hazardous areas.
IECEx 05 examination system structure.
The IECEx 05 examination system is modular. This means that you can take one or more exams depending on your position. The choice of these is often prescribed by your client or employer. The exam of unit EX001: Application of basic principles of safety in explosive environments is the starting module for all other modules. After that you make a further choice depending on your position.
IECEx 05 attestation
After successfully completing a theory and/or practical exam, you will receive an attestation from PBNA. This is proof that you have passed the unit in question. The period of validity of an attestation is five years.
Units
Which units you need to take depends on your position and your duties.
For each position, you start with the unit EX001 and then you follow one or more of the other units.
IECEx 05 Personal certificate
Certificate of Personal Competencies (CoPC), issued under the international IECEx 05 scheme, allows individuals to prove that they have the knowledge and skills required to safely perform certain types of work related to explosion equipment and installations. This CoPC allows you to demonstrate across the world to companies that have accepted this certification scheme that you have the required knowledge and skills. At PBNA, we provide exams with and without an option for a person certificate. ⇒ Apply for personal certificate
