Introduction
PESO (earlier known as CCoE) as an organization is headquartered in Nagpur, INDIA. This organization approves products for suitability in usage at Petroleum or any place which may be explosive in nature (rich in perfect combustible atmosphere).
PESO has different requirement for foreign manufacturers and Indian manufacturers. Any Indian manufacturer who has employed Flame proof protection for the product and seeks PESO approval, MUST have an ISI Marking for the product. Also, it is mandatory for the Indian manufacturer to have an ISO9001 certification for the manufacturing plant before applying for approval. Indian manufacturers shall undergo a pre-certification audit of the manufacturing facility and will also undergo annual audits as the certificate will be valid only for a year and the renewal mandates an audit.
Foreign manufacturers shall have a Quality Assurance Notification (QAN) or a Quality Assurance Report (QAR) per ATEX or IECEx scheme which ensures a regular audit by the NCB which has issued the Ex certificate.
Trio Technologies has experienced engineers only to handle electrical and electronic products.
