Leak Tests
Leak testing is a regulatory requirement. It must be completed every 36
months in the United States or every 12 months in Canada.
Thermo Fisher is licensed to perform these tests and can do so through
contract services. If you are currently using the leak testing service provided
by Thermo Fisher or purchased the gauge after July 1, 2006, you will be
mailed a notification letter 60 days prior to the due date of your leak test.
Two weeks later you will receive your leak test kit in the mail. If you wish
to participate in this service, follow the instructions in the kit, and return it
to Thermo Fisher.
If you purchased a gauge prior to the above date, you can request to be
added to Thermo Fisher's leak test service.
