Performance Test Approvals for Multi-Gas Detectors
May 26 2010
GfG (Germany) announce that performance test approval for its’ G450 and G460 multi-gas detectors has been achieved.
It is a legal requirement in EU countries that portable multi-gas detectors used in hazardous locations should have their gas detection performance tested and verified by an independent test authority, and approved to EN European standards.
The G450 and G460 are certified toEN 60079-29-1 Performance test for combustible gas sensors, EN 50104 Performance test for oxygen, EN 45544-1 Performance test for toxic gases, EN 45544-2 Performance test for toxic gases and EN 50271 Software. In addition, the flammable gas performance test approval (EN 60079-29-1) for the G450 and G460 includes methane, propane, hexane and n-nonane, so the user is protected against the whole range of combustible gases that may be encountered.
“For many years, users of gas detection instruments have had no sure way of knowing that the product they are using is actually doing the job it was intended for”, said Gavin Boorman, President of GfG Europe. “ATEX approval is essential to ensure electrical safety, but ATEX alone does not tell you if your gas detector is actually detecting gas in compliance with the required standards. These new EN standards for performance testing give users peace of mind that the gas detection performance of the product they choose has been independently tested, and that it complies with the required standards.”
