1. Scope of Work
Texeco has been commissioned to provide a conformity assessment document (CAD) on behalf of ESI-
Tech Services Pty Ltd for Weatherford Australia Pty Ltd of the Cemp International S.p.A. type AB
3590S4 Three-phase Asynchronous Electric Motor. The CAD aims to determine whether the specific
electrical equipment meets the relevant Australian/New Zealand Standards’ safety and compliance
objectives.
This document’s scope is a desktop exercise limited to assessing the EC-Type Examination Certificate,
the related production quality assurance, and comparing the applied standards for explosive gas
atmospheres.

2. Assessment Requirements
As per AS/NZS 60079.14: 2022 clause 4.4.2.1 explosion protected electrical equipment shall be
certified as complying with an Australian, Australia/New Zealand, or international explosion protected
method in accordance with one of the following accepted certification schemes:
Electrical equipment with a third-party certificate but not according to IEC Standards or AS/NZS
Standards shall be restricted to circumstances where suitable equipment with a certificate in
accordance with AS/NZS 60079.14: 2022 is not practicable to obtain. AS/NZS 60079.14: 2022 clause
4.4.2.3.1 states that justification for using a third-party certificate may be demonstrated in the form
of a conformity assessment document. Details of such justification shall be included as part of the
verification dossier.
This conformity assessment is a desktop exercise undertaken by Texeco to assess whether the Cemp
International S.p.A. type AB 3590S4 Three-phase Asynchronous Electric Motor meets the equivalent
safety objectives of the relevant Australian/New Zealand Standards. This document’s scope is not to
determine if the installed equipment will be safe or to make recommendations regarding the
equipment’s installation or operation but is limited to assessing equipment certification for use in
explosive gas atmospheres.
NOTE:
This CAD only addresses the equivalent level of safety of the equipment’s explosion-protection aspects
and does not consider compliance with any other requirements such as environmental requirements,
electromagnetic radiation, or compliance with AS/NZS 3000 (Australian Wiring Rules).

3. Evaluation Process – EC-Type Examination Certificate
The EC-Type examination certificate was issued by Centro Elettrotecnico Sperimentale Italiano (CESI),
which holds Notified Body number 0722 in accordance with Article 9 of the Council Directive of
European Communities of 1994 for the European Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) (Appareils destinés à être
utilisés en atmosphères explosives).
CESI is a company founded in 1956 with the support of the Italian electrical utilities and
electromechanical manufacturers and it has been operating for more than 65 years in the electro-
energetic sectors and is a market leader in testing and certification of electromechanical equipment.
The design and testing of the apparatus, as indicated in the EC-Type Examination Certificate, have
been reviewed to determine if it would offer an equivalent level of safety to equipment issued with
an ANZEx or IECEx certificate of conformity.
Compliance with Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) for electrical equipment is via a manufacturer’s declaration
that the following two documents have been issued from a European Union Notified Body:
• An EC-Type Examination Certificate to cover the testing of the sample submitted, and
• A Production Quality Assurance Notification (PQAN) to cover factory inspection.
A copy of the EC-Type Examination Certificate CESI 01 ATEX 102X is attached as Appendix A.
Texeco has not sighted a copy of the confidential test report EX-A1/039452. However, the EC-Type
Examination Certificate was verified as authentic as it was issued directly by a reputable equipment
manufacturer. Texeco is confident that the accredited Ex-Notified Body has conducted all required
assessments and tests.
CESI is accredited with the ACCREDIA (The Italian Accreditation Body) to ISO/IEC 17065: 2012 to
provide product conformity certification.
CESI is also an accepted Test Laboratory and Certification Body and carries out conformity assessments
within the scope of the IECEx equipment systems under the IECEx rules. Therefore, we assess CESI will
maintain an equivalent level of certification assurance to bodies issuing ANZEx certificates of
conformity.

5. Evaluation Process – Standards Compliance (ATEX)
The Cemp International S.p.A. type AB 3590S4 Three-phase Asynchronous Electric Motor has been
assessed under European Standards (EN) for explosive gas atmospheres. The European Committee
for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) has ratified the EN standards for explosive gas
atmospheres. CENELEC has a close working relationship with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC), and the organisations have formalised the cooperation framework through a
document known as the ‘Dresden Agreement.’ Resulting from this agreement, the IEC and CENELEC
Standards for explosive atmospheres are technically equivalent.
Australia and New Zealand began adopting IEC Standards for explosive gas atmospheres in 1996, and
these Standards are progressively being introduced in parallel with the existing Australian standards.
The original Australian Standards will eventually become obsolete and align with the IEC 60079 series
of Standards with only minor deviations. Consequently, the EN 60079 series of Standards is similar to
the Australia/New Zealand (AS/NZS) 60079 Standards.
The EC-Type Examination Certificate CESI 01 ATEX 102X extension number 07/12 lists that the Cemp
International S.p.A. type AB 3590S4 Three-phase Asynchronous Electric Motor has been designed
according to the following CENELEC Standards for explosive gas atmospheres:
The above standards are not recognised in Australia under the ANZEx or IECEx protection schemes.
European Norm (EN) 60079-0: 2009 covers the general requirements for explosion-protected
equipment, regardless of the technique applied. This standard's design and testing requirements are
almost identical to those in AS/NZS 60079-0: 2008 - Australian/New Zealand Standard for Explosive
Atmospheres Part 0: Equipment - General requirements.
Conclusion: With minor variation EN 60079-0: 2009 is technically equivalent to AS/NZS 60079-0: 2008.
EN 60079-1: 2007 covers the specific requirements for flameproof (Ex d) equipment. This standard's
construction and testing requirements align with those in AS/NZS 60079-1: 2007 - Australian/New
Zealand Standard Explosive Atmospheres Part 1: Equipment protection by flameproof enclosures 'd'.
Conclusion: With minor variation EN 60079-1: 2007 is technically equivalent to AS/NZS 60079-1: 2007.
Page 8 of 14
EN 60079-7: 2007 covers the specific requirements for increased safety (Ex e) equipment. This
standard's design and testing requirements are almost identical to those in AS/NZS 60079-7: 2006 -
Australian/New Zealand Standard Explosive Atmospheres Part 7: Equipment protection by increased
safety 'e'.
Conclusion: With minor variation EN 60079-7: 2007 is technically equivalent to AS/NZS 60079-7: 2006.

6. Evaluation Process – Manufacturer's Quality System
The manufacturer deems the Cemp International S.p.A. type AB 3590S4 Three-phase Asynchronous
Electric Motor to be compliant with Directive 94/9/EC(ATEX). ATEX compliance requires the
manufacturer to lodge an application for assessing its production quality system by a Notified Body of
its choice for the equipment concerned.
The manufacturer's quality system shall ensure compliance of the equipment as described in the EC-
Type Examination Certificate and with the Directive requirements that apply to them.
The Notified Body then assesses the quality system to determine whether it satisfies the Directive's
requirements. The Notified Body also inspects the manufacturer's premises.
To ensure the manufacturer maintains and applies the quality system, the Notified Body shall:
As part of the ongoing surveillance, the Notified Body may also pay unexpected visits to the
manufacturer to conduct tests to verify that the quality system is functioning correctly. These
unexpected visits provide a similar level of quality assurance required by the IECEx and ANZEx
schemes.
A copy of the Production Quality Assurance Notification (CESI 00 ATEX 030Q) is attached as Appendix
B of this report.
A copy of the related IECEx Quality Assessment Report Summary (IT/CES/QAR07.0002/00) is included
as Appendix C of this report for information.
