The conference
Organized by the IEC and IECEx, together with ESMA, and in conjunction with UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe), the 2012 IECEx International Conference will take place in Dubai on 20-21 March 2012.
The two-day event will provide a unique opportunity for industries in the region to get better acquainted with IEC International Standards and Conformity Assessment Systems in general and find out how they can derive most benefit from the IECEx services that cover Ex equipment and systems, repair and overhaul facilities, and certification of personnel competence. All services are formally endorsed by the United Nations, through UNECE, as an international model for safety regulations in Ex (explosive) areas.
A world of expertise
This conference will bring together experts from all over the world who are involved in the design, manufacturing, inspection, repair and overhaul of Ex equipment and systems, as well as in the assessment and certification of personnel competence. Issues concerning requirements and regulations in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region will form a crucial part of the conference.
Through their presentations and direct contact, the expert panel of speakers will be able to share their experience and detailed knowledge of all matters pertaining to the Ex field, such as plant design, principles and practical applications of area classification, installation and repair in compliance with IEC International Standards. They will answer questions, provide advice and give valuable information to anyone involved in the Ex sector.
It is worth noting that a great number of experts have already offered to speak at this event.
Networking opportunity
