Sira Test & Certification to support at HAZEX, the new specialist hazardous area event

Sira Test & Certification Ltd (a CSA International company) has announced it is supporting at HAZEX, the new specialist hazardous area event being run as part of easyFairs MAINTEC 2012. Sira has been at the forefront of hazardous area issues and training for over 25 years. It is a world leader in the conformity assessment solutions field and the UK's leading Notified Body for Ex Product Certification (ATEX & IECEx), indeed it has issued more IECEx certificates than any other certification body. So Sira's endorsement of HAZEX reflects the event's commitment to bringing the UK's top hazard prevention experts under one roof.


Commenting on Sira Test & Certification's decision to exhibit at HAZEX, Adam Garner, Marketing Coordinator at Sira said: "We see this as a golden opportunity for us to explain our full range of services to engineers, contractors, industrial clients and the many supply organisations we can help. We're very excited to be involved in the show."


In addition to promoting its services Sira will run a learnShops seminar at the show designed to demystify the IECEx Certification of Personnel Competence Scheme. As the first organisation to issue the world's first IECEx personnel competence certificate, Sira is an acknowledged expert in this field. This newly launched scheme is a world first in providing companies with independent proof that a person holding an IECEx Certificate of Personnel Competence has the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the international Ex Standards. This can be especially important for contracting staff. Sira will explain to attendees what the scheme is about, its benefits to industry and how individuals can achieve certification.


Matt Benyon, Managing Director at easyFairs UK & Ireland, says: "We're thrilled to have Sira on board. Their involvement in HAZEX brilliantly illustrates how we're giving those working in hazardous areas and handling hazardous materials the opportunity to learn from experts, catch up with latest developments and legislation and hear about all the products and services they need."
