Ron Sinclair

The UK notified Body that leads the IECEx World

Baseefa is one of the best known Notified Bodies in Europe for the ATEX Directive and is the world leader in issuing internationally recognised certificates within the IECEx Certification Schemes for people, service facilities and products related to hazardous areas.

Ron Sinclair has worked in this field since 1975 and led the formation of the current company in 2001 as a continuation of the work previously done within the UK Health and Safety Executive when it decided to stop certification activities to avoid conflicts of interest. He is chair of both the UK national committee and the European Cenelec committee for standardisation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas.

He and other members of the Baseefa staff play an active part in the creation of standards at the international IEC level. Ron has recently accepted a second term of office as chair of the IECEx Test and Assessment Group (ExTAG) within the IECEx System and he is also one of the vice chairs of the European Notified Bodies Group (ExNB). He was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in 2011 for services to certification and standardisation.In addition to the full range of certification available through both the ATEX and IECEx Schemes, Baseefa provides training, consultancy and inspection services to assist users of equipment in hazardous areas.

Ron has contributed special lectures for INDEX Events and is continuously promoting INDEX activities.
