A properly functioning gas detection system
A gas detection system is only truly effective when it responds immediately the moment a gas leak occurs. After all, a detector that does not function properly offers no protection for employees, visitors, or buildings.
There are no specific legal inspection requirements for gas detection systems for methane (CH₄) and natural gas. That is precisely why it is important to have the system inspected regularly by an independent party. This ensures that the system does what it is designed to do: detect risks in a timely manner and activate appropriate safety measures.
Inspection of the entire detection chain
During the inspection, our specialists assess not only the detectors but also the overall operation of the gas detection system. This gives you a complete picture of the system’s reliability.
Among other things, we check the placement and type of detectors, the set alarm thresholds, the control panel, and the alarm signaling. In addition, we test whether the system performs the correct actions as soon as gas is detected. This includes activating an alarm, turning on ventilation, or automatically shutting off the gas supply.
We conduct the inspection in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and applicable standards of good workmanship. Afterward, you’ll receive an objective inspection report detailing our findings and any areas requiring attention.
Independent inspection for maximum peace of mind
With an independent inspection, you can be sure that your gas detection system will function reliably when needed.
Here’s what you’ll get:
- You gain insight into the operation of the entire gas detection system
- You reduce the risk of malfunctions or anomalies going unnoticed
- You’ll receive an objective inspection report for internal risk management
- You’ll have independent evidence to present to your insurer or client
- You’ll help ensure a safe work environment for employees and visitors
Extensive knowledge and experience
Normec conducts functional inspections as an independent and accredited inspection partner. This ensures you receive an objective assessment that is independent of the system’s installer or maintenance provider.
Our inspectors have extensive knowledge of gas detection systems and carefully assess the installation based on the manufacturer’s specifications and applicable industry guidelines. You can count on a clear report and a reliable assessment.
Comprehensive safety management
A properly functioning gas detection system is a crucial component of fire and building safety. Combined with systems such as fire detection, fire suppression equipment, and emergency lighting, it ensures a safe work environment where risks are identified and controlled in a timely manner.
This way, you can be sure that your safety systems will function reliably when it matters most.
