MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwire - April 9, 2009) - Sierra Monitor Corporation (OTCBB: [ SRMC ]), a Cleantech focused company that designs, manufactures and sells electronic safety and environmental instrumentation, announced that its Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Gas Detector series received Factory Mutual (FM), compliance certification for both performance and hazardous location operation. FM is a widely recognized independent testing laboratory whose certification is mandatory for products used in Factory Mutual insured facilities.

Hydrogen Sulfide, a toxic gas, is a by-product of various waste processes and oil and gas production. As life safety devices, toxic gas detectors must be third party certified. Plant safety managers, fire marshals and design engineers require proof of certification leading system integrators and construction firms to seek approved products for their projects. Sierra Monitor's FM approved Hydrogen Sulfide monitors are best in class devices due to their accuracy, low cost of ownership and packaging flexibility.
