A safe natural gas installation
If an installation is not properly installed, modified, or maintained, the risk of dangerous situations increases. Examples include gas leaks, incomplete combustion, or an improperly connected flue gas outlet. This can lead to fires, explosions, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
An inspection of the natural gas installation helps prevent these risks. Furthermore, a certificate of compliance is required when a new installation is put into service or when an existing installation has been modified or expanded. This ensures that the installation operates safely and complies with applicable regulations.
Complete inspection of your system
During the inspection, our specialists examine the entire natural gas system. We check, among other things, the gas lines, gas appliances, the flue gas exhaust, the air supply, and the room where the system is installed.
In addition, we perform a leak test to determine whether the gas lines are completely leak-free. Based on the inspection, we assess whether the system complies with applicable Belgian standards.
Afterward, you’ll receive a digital inspection report with the results and any points of concern. If the system complies, we’ll issue the official certificate of conformity that you’ll need for your gas supplier.
Peace of mind regarding safety
An inspection of your natural gas system provides clarity on the technical condition of the system and ensures you meet all applicable requirements.

Independent and reliable assessment
Normec conducts inspections of natural gas installations in accordance with applicable standards. Our inspectors have extensive experience with a wide variety of gas installations and assess each one carefully and independently. This way, you’ll know exactly what measures are needed to ensure the safety of your installation.
Periodic inspections in various situations
In addition to an inspection upon commissioning or after a modification, periodic inspections are required in various situations. These inspections help detect wear and tear, leaks, and other anomalies in a timely manner and contribute to fire safety within your organization.
Specific inspection intervals apply to certain buildings and applications. For example, the standards require periodic leak tests in healthcare facilities and hospitals. Additional inspection requirements also apply to outdoor events and soccer stadiums.
We would be happy to advise you on the requirements that apply to your organization.
