Safety is primordial, both for the user and for the manufacturer. Our experts in technical safety advise companies on legislation and regulations, safety and prevention in existing or new process installations. We pay attention to the technical aspects of safety in an industrial environment, such as machine safety and CE marking, explosion safety and reliability of safety-related control systems.

Over the years we have accumulated a wealth of experience and knowledge in compliance and application of legislation and normalisation in various process-related environments.
