Guides and Technical Notes

  • Free for Gesip members in their member portal
  • The guidelines recognized by the government are available online
  • Available only as a downloadable PDF

The Technical Guides are based on the work of Gesip’s technical committees, which bring together experts from member industrial companies.

They are based on industry-approved practices and draw on international standards. They provide a solid foundation that operators of industrial facilities can use to manage the risks associated with their operations.

Please note that the results of certain studies are available only to members. English translations may be provided.
