Gas leaks are among the core safety risks to lives and assets in the marine and offshore sector. As a BV type-approved gas detection device, the GCF-M10 Gas Alarm Control Cabinet is increasingly the first choice of shipowners, shipyards and offshore operators.

The GCF-M10 Gas Alarm Control Cabinet is the central hub of the marine gas detection system, installed in the watch room or control room. It receives concentration signals from gas detectors, displays real-time readings, triggers audible & visual alarms on exceedance, and can interlock with ventilation equipment, PLC, DCS and fire-fighting systems.

A large LCD and an intuitive interface make operation simple, while proprietary software-based noise immunity provides soft-fault detection for high reliability and easy maintenance.

Equipment must pass classification society type approval before being installed on marine and offshore vessels. The GCF-M10 has received BV type approval as part of the gas detection and alarm system, meaning its design, testing and production have all been validated by an international authority and it can be used on classed vessels worldwide.

In the marine and offshore sector, gas detection equipment can only be installed onboard after passing type approval by an internationally recognized classification society. This product holds a Type Approval Certificate issued by Bureau Veritas (BV), confirming that its design, manufacture and performance fully meet the classification requirements for international voyages and offshore installations.

Certification note: The GCF-M10 Gas Alarm Control Cabinet has passed BV type approval. As the central control unit of the gas detection and alarm system (PR-GDS-100 / PR-GDS-200), it meets strict classification society requirements on power-loss redundancy and fire-fighting interlocks.
