MSR-Electronic GmbH MSR-Electronic GmbH, headquartered in Pocking, Germany, is a manufacturer of fixed gas warning systems with decades of experience in gas measurement technology, developing individual gas sensors, controllers, and warning devices for applications spanning parking garages, tunnels, petrochemical industry, laboratories, medical facilities, waste disposal, shipping, and hydrogen (H2) gas monitoring throughout hydrogen's entire life cycle -- from research, production, and logistics to storage and use in trucks, ships, steel production, or energy generation. The company's PolyXeta2 gas sensor (PX2) is used in industrial applications including oil/gas, shipping, biogas plants, petrochemicals, and power plants, and is suitable for hydrogen detection in ATEX Zone 1/2 environments, with additional FM and CSA certification for Class I, Division applications and metrological testing by DEKRA Testing and Certification GmbH according to EN 60079-29-1 standards. MSR-Electronic supported Paul Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH (a European market leader in special vehicle conversion) with the planning, provision, and commissioning of a fixed gas warning system with ATEX approval for pure hydrogen loading/unloading halls, installing five PX2 hydrogen sensors and one DGC-06 controller at each of two sites, and the company's gas detection systems have also been deployed to protect ships' engine rooms and cargo holds, advance emission-free hydrogen aviation, and monitor climate chamber test procedures at research centers including Eurac Research. Meeting standards including ATEX/IECEx and EN 60079-0/-1 to guarantee system safety, and offering individually configurable, flexibly integrable solutions used worldwide, MSR-Electronic continues supplying hydrogen detection systems recognizing hydrogen's classification -- grey, blue, turquoise, or green -- across its full life cycle.
