This European Standard gives requirements and the corresponding test/assessment methods applicable to sensor based leak detection systems (leak detection kits). The leak detection kits are intended to be used in interstitial spaces, leakage containments or monitoring wells. The leak detection kits are usually composed by:

  • sensing device(s);

  • evaluation device;

  • alarm device.
