Each organisation that operates a storage location with a fixed container for compressed, liquefied or dissolved gas (for example, argon, nitrogen, laughing gas, LPG, hydrogen, etc.) is legally bound to have these installations regularly inspected. This obligation applies among other things to hospitals, rest homes, restaurants, hotels, metal processing companies, chemical and petrochemical companies, LPG and CNG re-filling stations, etc. The law prescribes that these inspections must be conducted by an EDTC (External Technical Inspection Service) or an environmental expert recognised for the discipline "containers designed for gas or dangerous substances."

The installation must fulfil the essential safety requirements of the European pressure directive.
Do you have the appropriate certificate in this connection?
Are the correct safety arrangements present in the installation and is proper operation to be expected?
Have the legally prescribed distances been respected?
Is the legally required information present?
Is the installation approved under the regulations?

Our experts can carry out statutory inspections of the compartmentation, safety distances, construction of the container, identification of the plate, pipeing, fire prevention and fire fighting devices, written instructions, inspection of the outside condition of the container’s plates, protection against overpressure, etc.
