Radonova has monitored and acted on local and national radon trends, investing in local stakeholders

A local and global approach – a strategy which strengthens Radonova’s reputation

Since the mid-2010s, many European countries have implemented the European Directive EURATOM 2013/59 which aims to strengthen, or even sometimes create, local and national regulation regarding radon.

As a world leader in radon measurements and technology, Radonova has monitored and acted on local and national radon trends, investing in local stakeholders so that they can meet the growing demand for radon measurements with state-of-the-art measurement solutions. In doing so, Radonova has increased its brand awareness and reputation outside of its traditional markets such as Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. This strategy has advanced its position as a market leader, but also highlighted the fact that Radonova has local expertise in radon measurement.

Expanding to new markets

Following the passing of radon legislation in countries such as France, Germany, and the UK, Radonova’s presence in these markets has progressed at speed in recent years which has led to the need for a local presence in these countries in order to build a local radon community and network.

In 2021, Radonova acquired GM Scientific and opened a local office in Bristol, so that Radonova could operate in the UK market with local representatives.

In 2022, Radonova followed up the Bristol opening with the launch of two further offices in Dusseldorf, Germany and La Rochelle, France, relocating Radonova’s local and global expertise to these growing markets.

The benefit of providing both local and global radon expertise

By entering locally growing markets, Radonova does not only bring in the most reliable measurement solutions but also global expertise which enables all local managers to pass on benefits and insights to their customers which are derived from the experience Radonova has in multiple markets.

“Many of our French customers are not only happy about the quality of our service, but also that we can provide expertise and good practice from projects that are conducted outside of the French borders. Together with the quality of the service we provide, getting inspiration from innovative work undertaken elsewhere helps define the added value Radonova supplies in relation to alternative radon offerings.” said Thomas Chauvin, Development Manager of Radonova in France.

Requirement for follow-up radon measurement during working hours before mitigation

Since the introduction of the 2013/59/Euratom directive, many countries in Europe have started strengthening their national radon regulation, specifically for workplaces and public buildings. For example, introducing lower reference and action levels as well as protocols to ensure good practice when it comes to measuring radon. In this regard, Sweden, with its long tradition of radon measurement,

Continuous radon measurement falls into the so-called “active” category

7 July 2022 10:42

Using a detector to measure for radon continuously, what are the advantages?

When the analysis results of your radon measurement shows that the average concentration of one or more measurement points exceeds the reference threshold set by the regulations, it is necessary to take action to reduce radon levels below the threshold.
However, the radon concentration in the air is never constant. It evolves every minute. This is one of the reasons why it is recommended when p

Choose the right radon sensor to optimize ventilation in workplaces and schools

In this article, we explain why it is important to choose the right radon sensor if you are looking to optimize ventilation in workplaces and schools. In properties with ventilation, radon levels can often vary and this is often dependent on whether the ventilation is running or not. Normally, radon levels are significantly lower when the ventilation is switched on. Depending on the design and eff
