SYDNEY, June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TUV Rheinland Australia Pty has been recognised as an official provider of training for IECEx certification relating to personnel working in explosive atmospheres. Plans to achieve full IECEx accreditation are already underway.
As the Australian arm of the global leader in independent technical services, the organization is now the country's newest provider of courses that conform strictly to internationally respected IECEx rules and operational documents.
The courses are tailor-made for personnel working in explosive atmospheres in almost any capacity. That includes managers, visitors, designers of plants, classification service providers, hands-on installers, as well as people who test, maintain, repair, or inspect plants -- and even those who conduct formal audits.
Successful participants can receive IECEx Personnel Certification after recognition of their experience and knowledge, and sitting an examination administered and graded by TUV Rheinland Australia experts.
