Gas Detector (Commercial and Industrial Applications) Testing and Certification

Testing the Measuring Function of Gas Detectors and Gas Measuring Devices According to Metrological Standards

xic gases, lack of oxygen or explosive atmospheres - there is a high risk in many working environments. The responsibility for safe conditions lies with the operators. Gas detectors and gas warning devices must function reliably so that hazards are recognized in time. Devices that have undergone a type examination of their measuring function help provide confidence that they will fulfill their intended purpose under foreseeable operating conditions.

Gas Measurement Technology Tested in Accordance with Standards

Gas detection equipment and gas warning equipment are used to protect people and property from hazards caused by gases. Such hazards include explosion hazards caused by combustible gases and vapours, health hazards caused by oxygen deficiency and toxic gases and vapours. Standard-compliant testing is essential to ensure that the devices used function reliably in an emergency.
We support you with our many years of testing experience – from type testing to application-specific evaluations – and assess compliance with all relevant standards and regulations. We test and certify in accordance with the following standards:
 EN 60079-29-1 and IEC 60079-29-1
 EN 50104
 EN 45544 series
 EN IEC 62990-1 and IEC 62990-1
 EN 50271
 EN 50545-1
 EN 50194-1
 EN 50194-2
 DIN 6653-2
