ADNOC Approved Explosion Proof Lighting

ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) is one of the world's largest energy producers and requires all equipment used across its operations to meet stringent technical and safety standards. AJV Tech is a trusted supplier of ADNOC approved explosion proof lighting and ventilation products, supporting ADNOC's upstream, midstream, and downstream operations with certified products from Raytec, Atexor, and Ramfan.

ADNOC Approved Vendor

About ADNOC Approval

ADNOC operates a rigorous vendor qualification and product approval process to ensure all equipment used in its facilities meets the highest safety and performance standards. For explosion proof lighting, ADNOC requires products to hold valid IECEx and/or ATEX certification, meet specific technical requirements outlined in ADNOC engineering standards, and be supplied by approved vendors. The approval process involves technical evaluation of product specifications, review of certification documentation, assessment of the manufacturer's quality management systems, and in some cases, field performance trials. AJV Tech and its manufacturing partners have successfully completed ADNOC's vendor approval process, enabling direct supply to ADNOC group companies and their EPC contractors.

ADNOC Technical Requirements

ADNOC's engineering standards specify detailed requirements for lighting equipment used in hazardous areas. These requirements cover explosion protection type and certification (IECEx or ATEX), minimum IP rating (typically IP66 or higher), ambient temperature rating suitable for Gulf region conditions (typically up to +55 degrees Celsius or higher), corrosion resistance for coastal and offshore environments, minimum lumen output and uniformity requirements, material specifications including copper-free aluminium and stainless steel hardware, and compliance with ADNOC's electrical and instrumentation engineering standards. AJV Tech's product range from Raytec, Atexor, and Ramfan meets or exceeds these technical requirements, with products specifically designed for the extreme heat and corrosive conditions found in the Middle East.

AJV Tech ADNOC Approved Products

AJV Tech supplies a comprehensive range of products approved for use across ADNOC operations. Our ADNOC approved portfolio includes Raytec SPARTAN explosion proof LED floodlights, bulkheads, and linear luminaires for permanent hazardous area installations across ADNOC's refineries, gas processing plants, and offshore platforms. Atexor portable and temporary explosion proof lighting is approved for use during ADNOC turnaround and maintenance shutdowns, providing safe temporary illumination in Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas. Ramfan explosion proof ventilation fans support confined space entry and hazardous area ventilation operations. AJV Tech maintains local stock in the UAE and provides dedicated technical support for ADNOC projects, including lighting design assistance, certification documentation packages, and rapid delivery to ADNOC facilities across Abu Dhabi.

Frequently Asked Questions

ADNOC requires explosion proof lighting to hold valid IECEx and/or ATEX certification, meet the relevant IEC 60079 standard for the protection type, achieve a minimum IP66 ingress protection rating, and be rated for ambient temperatures up to at least +55°C. Products must also meet ADNOC's engineering standards and be supplied by vendors registered in ADNOC's approved vendor list. AJV Tech's product range from Raytec, Atexor, and Ramfan meets all of these requirements.

Yes. AJV Tech and its manufacturing partners have completed ADNOC's vendor approval process and are registered to supply directly to ADNOC group companies including ADNOC Onshore, ADNOC Offshore, ADNOC LNG, ADNOC Refining, and ADNOC Distribution. We also supply to EPC contractors working on ADNOC projects. Our Abu Dhabi office (AJV Energy Solutions LLC SPC) provides local support for ADNOC projects across Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi's climate regularly exceeds +45°C ambient temperature, with process areas and confined spaces in refineries and petrochemical plants reaching even higher temperatures. Standard explosion proof equipment rated to +40°C or +45°C is insufficient. ADNOC specifications typically require equipment rated to +55°C or higher to ensure reliable and safe operation throughout the asset's service life without derating or premature failure.

Yes. ADNOC accepts both IECEx and ATEX certifications as evidence of compliance with explosion protection requirements. Products holding dual IECEx and ATEX certification are most widely accepted and simplify the vendor submission process. ADNOC engineering standards reference the IEC 60079 series, which underpins both certification schemes.

AJV Tech provides a comprehensive technical documentation package for ADNOC projects including IECEx and ATEX certificates, EU declarations of conformity, product datasheets, dimensional drawings, installation and maintenance manuals, material certification, and lighting calculation reports. For ADNOC submittals, we can also provide Material Data Report (MDR) packages and support engineering query responses to ADNOC's project teams.
