Potentially explosive atmospheres present dangers that can only be mitigated with an ATEX-certified gas detection solution. But what is ATEX? What are ATEX zones and how can you guarantee site safety? This is IGD’s complete guide to mitigating explosive atmospheres to keep you and your personnel safe.
The TOC-903-X5 Steals the Show at ACHEMA 2024
IGD and Bieler+Lang were on hand to represent the wider Safe Monitoring group at this years ACHEMA tradeshow in Frankfurt, where Our TOC-903-X5 and 2-WIre Addressable systems were some of the highlights of the weekend.
Why You Are Paying Too Much For Gas Detection
Gas detection can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Read on to find out why not having an IGD 2-Wire Addressable Gas Detection system, probably means that you’re paying too much for your gas detection.
Dealing with Flammable Gases: Pellistors vs. Infrared
There’s a sensor for every application, but choosing the right one will be the deciding factor in the effectiveness of your gas detection setup. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of tackling flammable gases with either Pellistor or Infrared sensors.
SafePark: Car Park Gas Detection System – Regulatory Compliance
The regulations surrounding car park gas detection can be complex. Fortunately IGD’s SafePark system is designed to ensure that your car park is fully compliant with all relevant standards.
Why You Need Gas Detection: The Legal Requirements
You need gas detection to ensure that your application adheres to all legal regulations, but understanding those regulations, how they work and how they effect you, can be difficult. this is our guide to the legal requirements for gas detection.

Why You Want to Have a Benzene Gas Detector
A leak of Benzene can happen in a large number of industries. Due to the carcinogenic, volatile nature of this gas, it is important to monitor this wherever it is likely to be present. Are you sufficiently protecting your team from Benzene? Check out our article to find out.
BS EN 61010-1:2010+A1:2019 and UL61010 approval for our 750 series of kit
IGD are happy to announce that we are now approved to the BS EN 61010 and UL 61010 standards for our 750 series of control panels and gas detectors. This standard ensures clients will not be subject to any hazards caused by electronic equipment, such as electric shock or burn and radiation when using our system. Thus, supplying clients with the highest standard of safety for their gas detection solution. Read on below to find out more about this standard.
Ammmonia Gas Detectors for Refrigeration Plants
Large-scale refrigeration systems are an integral part of many industries, such as cold storage, petrochemical refining, and food processing. In such applications, Ammonia is the most common choice of refrigerant due to its effective physical properties and low freezing point, making it perfect for refrigeration uses. As ammonia is extremely dangerous to life and health at a concentration of 25ppm (8hrs) and 35ppm (15 minutes), it is critical for ammonia gas detectors to be used in such applications to maintain the safety of the plant and those in the vicinity.
