Our sustainable strategy is a movement towards fostering a culture of environmental advocacy across far reaching industries, from power generation to water supply. By joining the CAFA group, AEMT is pledging to a cause, and actively leading the way in environmental sustainability within the electro-mechanical sector.

IECEx RTP

IECEx RTP

The IECEx Recognised Training Provider (RTP) scheme is a special initiative that recognises organisations for their commitment to delivering training services concerning equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades (AEMT) is a proud participant in the IECEx RTP scheme, offering comprehensive training in the repair, maintenance, and reclamation of such equipment.

There are numerous organisations that provide training in handling equipment for explosive atmospheres, known as Ex technologies. However, not all of these adhere to the structure and requirements of IECEx Operational Documents OD 503 and OD 504, which support the IECEx Certified Persons Scheme, a mark of high-standard training to which AEMT conforms.

The RTP status by IECEx is awarded to organisations that have successfully undergone a rigorous review process in accordance with the IECEx Operational Document OD 521.

The primary goal of training provided by an IECEx RTP, such as AEMT, is to enhance the participant's knowledge and prepare them for assessment under the IECEx CoPC Scheme. This scheme is intended for individuals who wish to obtain the IECEx Certificate of Personnel Competence, issued by an approved IECEx Certification Body after assessing competence.

It's important to note that attending training with an RTP does not equate to certification or attestation of competence. It is not to be considered as evidence that competence has been assessed according to the IECEx CoPC Scheme requirements. The training primarily aims to equip the attendee with pertinent knowledge and skills to work safely in explosive atmospheres.
