EAC Certification for Explosion-Proof Luminaires
Explosion-proof luminaires must be assessed for both their electrical function and their hazardous-area protection. Ordinary luminaires under HS 9405 do not automatically fall under TR CU 012/2011.

Registry intelligence
Preliminary EAC assessment
For Explosion-Proof Luminaires, the verified regulatory mapping indicates an EAC Certificate under TR CU 012/2011 as the likely route. The luminaire must be designed for operation in an explosive atmosphere and carry the applicable Ex marking supported by manufacturer technical documentation. Ordinary luminaires under HS 9405 are not automatically within TR CU 012/2011.

Preliminary registry statistics
Registry statistics are not available yet. Numerical data will appear only after a reproducible registry sample has been extracted.
This is a preliminary regulation-based assessment, not a final conformity determination. An EAC expert must verify the exact product description, design, intended use, technical parameters and current regulatory-list position before the route is confirmed.
What is usually required for this product?
The assessment focuses on the Ex protection concept, hazardous-area group/category, temperature class, light source and driver configuration, enclosure construction and complete Ex marking.
Certificate or declaration?
A verified route supports EAC Ex certification where the luminaire is specifically designed for explosive atmospheres. The manufacturer's Ex documentation is therefore essential to distinguish it from ordinary lighting equipment.
Applicable technical regulations
TR CU 012/2011 is the verified core regulation for equipment intended for explosive atmospheres. Other EAEU regulations may also apply to integrated electrical, machinery, EMC or pressure functions.
Verified conformity information
- TR CU 012/2011HS / TN VED: 9405Conformity form: certificate
The luminaire must be designed for operation in an explosive atmosphere and carry the applicable Ex marking supported by manufacturer technical documentation. Ordinary luminaires under HS 9405 are not automatically within TR CU 012/2011.
Cost and timeframe
Final cost and duration depend on the applicable regulation, conformity scheme, testing scope, technical documentation, sample requirements and project configuration.
- •Ex protection concept and marking
- •Light source / driver variants
- •Enclosure size and material range
- •Existing IECEx/ATEX test reports
Documents usually requested
For an initial assessment, manufacturers should normally be ready to provide:
- Luminaire datasheet and model range
- Complete Ex marking
- Enclosure and optical/electrical drawings
- Light source and driver specifications
- Explosion-protection description
- IECEx/ATEX reports or certificates, if available

Frequently asked questions
Does HS 9405 indicate that a luminaire is explosion-proof?
No. HS 9405 includes ordinary luminaires; hazardous-area design and Ex marking must be confirmed separately.
Do LED drivers affect certification?
Yes. Electrical components and their configuration can be part of the assessed explosion-protection design.
Can different wattages be grouped?
Potentially, if the enclosure and protection concept remain technically equivalent and the range can be represented correctly.
What should be sent for an initial Ex review?
Send the datasheet, full Ex marking, drawings, driver/light-source details and any existing IECEx/ATEX evidence.
