The IECEx Certified Service Facilities Scheme is an international certification scheme covering the assessment and on-site audit of organizations that provide the following services to the Ex industry:

• IECEx Certified Service Facilities Scheme – Part 2: Selection of Ex equipment and design of Ex installations (IEC 60079-14)
• IECEx Certified Service Facilities Scheme – Part 3: Ex installation and initial inspection
• IECEx Certified Service Facilities Scheme – Part 4: Ex inspection and maintenance (IEC 60079-17)
• IECEx Certified Service Facilities Scheme – Part 5: Repair, overhaul and reclamation of Ex equipment (IEC 60079-19)
