The GX-3R and GX-3R Pro explosion-proof portable gas monitors are now MED certified to meet European Marine Equipment Directive requirements.

These gas monitors have been tested to comply with various IEC/EN international standard environmental and performance requirements specified by the MED, to assure peace of mind when deployed in the harsh conditions found aboard marine vessels.

This allows them to be installed on vessels of EU member state nationality, vessels of EU member state ship owners, and vessels subject to EU member state ship classification.
