Gas detection regulations in Europe
In Europe, gas detection regulations are in place to ensure workplace safety, environmental protection and compliance with strict industry standards. Hazardous gases, including toxic, flammable and oxygen-deficient gases, pose significant risks in industrial plants, confined spaces, chemical facilities and refineries. Without proper detection systems, workers are at risk of serious health issues, explosions or suffocation. To mitigate these dangers, the European Union has established clear guidelines and safety standards that businesses must follow to ensure safe operations. At WatchGas, we offer certified products that comply with European gas detection regulations, providing accurate and reliable monitoring to protect workplaces.

European gas detection regulations and required certifications in Europe
Gas detection equipment used in hazardous environments must comply with various European regulations to ensure reliability and accuracy. One of the most important certifications is ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles), which is mandatory for gas detection devices used in explosive atmospheres. Another key certification is IECEx, which applies to electrical equipment in hazardous locations and ensures that gas detectors meet international safety standards. Additionally, compliance with OSHA, EN (European Norms) and ISO standards is required for detectors used across different industries. These regulations set strict testing, calibration and maintenance requirements for gas monitoring equipment to ensure they provide real-time monitoring, early warnings and fast response times in case of a gas leak.
