Shenzhen ZhongNuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in the calibration, verification, and metrological services for equipment such as gas alarms, combustible gas detectors, and toxic gas detection instruments at various locations. We hold qualifications to serve nationwide, addressing clients' electrical safety and explosion-proof fire prevention issues, and contributing to safe production.
What factors influence the calibration cycle of flammable gas detectors?
Manufacturer Requirements: Different manufacturers may have varying inspection cycle requirements for their flammable gas detectors. Therefore, when purchasing equipment, carefully review the product manual to understand the specific requirements of the manufacturer.
Equipment Usage Environment: The operating environment of the alarm directly affects its inspection cycle. If the equipment is frequently exposed to high concentrations of harmful gases, high or low humidity, or extreme temperatures, its inspection cycle may be shortened accordingly.
‌Equipment Maintenance Status: The condition of equipment maintenance is also a significant factor affecting the inspection cycle. If the equipment is long-term faced with issues such as battery depletion and sensor aging, the inspection cycle will accordingly be shortened.

Appearance and structure
The instrument should not have any appearance damage that affects its normal operation. The surface of newly manufactured instruments should be smooth and clean, with a uniform paint and coating, free of peeling and rusting.
The instrument's connections are reliable, and all dials or buttons should operate and control normally.
Logos and Branding
Instrument name, model, manufacturer's name, manufacturing date, serial number, explosion-proof marking and number, as well as the manufacturing measurement instrument license marking and number for domestic instruments should be clear.

The detection principle of the instruments mainly includes catalytic combustion, infrared absorption, and thermal conductivity types. The sampling methods include diffusion and aspiration. The instruments are primarily composed of detection elements, amplification circuits, alarm systems, and displays, used for monitoring the concentration of combustible gases in the environment.

GB 12358-2024 "General Technical Requirements for Environmental Gas Detection and Alarm Instruments in Workplace" is an important standard.
Intended to standardize the performance, functions, and testing methods of environmental gas detection and alarm instruments used in work sites.
The standard was issued in 1990 and has undergone several revisions.
The new version is GB 12358—2024, which will be officially implemented on June 1, 2025.
This standard applies to the production and use of gas detection and alarm instruments for flammable gases, toxic and harmful gases, and oxygen in workplace environments.
