GasSecure achieves world first in wireless gas detection

0

GasSecure is pleased to announce that it has successfully concluded one of the most exciting developments by securing third party Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 certification for the GS01 wireless gas detector.

After months of detailed assessments the GasSecure GS01 wireless hydrocarbon gas detector was recently certified by 3rd party assessor Exida as SIL 2 capable for use in Safety Instrumented Systems per IEC 61508 : 2010 Parts 1-7. Going further the assessment also supports the use of PROFIsafe communications to allow a fully certified SIL 2 loop to a control system which is a world first for a wireless gas detector.

Achieving SIL 2 means that the GasSecure GS01 is now proven as suitable for use in safety system executive actions such as shutdowns. This opens up a whole new group of applications in process safety systems where users need the certainty that the device will meet their requirements in a Safety Integrated Function.

Commenting on this capability, GasSecure CEO, Knut Sandven stated, “We have many clients that have been waiting for this certification as it allows them to use the GS01 in their critical safety applications onshore and offshore.”
