Electronic processing of assessment orders according to Directive 2014/34/EU and IECEx System

Electronic processing of assessment orders according to Directive 2014/34/EU and IECEx System

Since April 01, 2020 PTB implements digital file management in compliance with the requirements of the German Government.

Assessment applications with the associated technical documents, such as description, drawings, parts lists, data sheets and operating instruction, which enable the evaluation of the product are sent and evaluated electronically.

After successful completion of the evaluation the technical documentation that was part of the evaluation will be listed clearly (name and document number - controlled documents - of the customer, release date, version) in the Test Report under Point „4. Liste der technischen Unterlagen, Prüfprotokolle, Muster und sonstigen Dokumente (List of technical documents, test reports, samples and other documents)“ and in the IECEx Test Report Cover as „Technical Documents“ and apply bindingly.

The usual marking of the test documents by PTB stamp and seal is no longer necessary.
