Danish Standards at Geopal

Last week, Geopal had the pleasure of hosting the latest committee meeting for the Danish Standardization Committee S-531 – Explosive Atmospheres, in which I am a part of.

The committee brings together experts from across the industry to help shape national, European, and international standardization efforts within mechanical and electrical equipment, safety systems, and components – as well as the installation, inspection, qualification, and repair practices for use in explosive atmospheres. Through these meetings, we share insights, align on regulations, and contribute to safer working environments through standardization.

As hosts, we also had the opportunity to welcome members into our facilities at Geopal and give a tour of our recently renovated headquarters, offering a closer look at our in-house production and how we develop and manufacture gas detection solutions that enhance safety in high-risk environments. A great way to connect industry knowledge with practical application.

Being part of this forum allows us to stay at the forefront of regulatory developments while contributing directly to the standards. The decisions made in these rooms influence on how standards are defined and implemented, ultimately helping protect those working in hazardous areas.

I am proud to represent Geopal in this important work and grateful to Danish Standards for leading the way in uniting knowledge, experience, and collaboration.
