Calibration of infrared and/or heated diode leak detectors, with F-Gas compliant certification
The price of the calibration service already includes the cost of shipping the certified instrument from the laboratory to the customer's premises, by DHL courier (including islands).
Important: download the order form in PDF format, with instructions for shipping the instrument to be calibrated and certified.The order form can be downloaded in the "Technical Documentation" section, after registering on the website.
Calibration carried out by an ISO17025 certified laboratory for the lengths sector and with ISO9001 certified management system for calibration with traceability for the other quantities, equipped with instruments and first line samples periodically calibrated by ACCREDIA centres.

Calibration Procedure for Leak Detectors:
The verification of the performance of leak detectors is performed with GAS R134a and is valid for all fluorinated gases (HFC, HFO).
The detector is checked with a certified calibrated leak, repeating the test for each level for three tests.
The calibration and/or verification report, compiled in Italian and English, will contain the following data:
- Level indicated by the manufacturer
- Test result for each level indicated
Important: an identification label will be applied to each calibrated and certified instrument, showing the number of the calibration report and the serial number of the instrument; the label will also include a date stamp showing the calibration deadline (to be paid by the customer). An additional label with a QR CODE will also be applied to the instrument, making the calibration report immediately available on a smartphone (very useful for the refrigeration technician who is working on site and needs to demonstrate the conformity of the instrument in real time).
How to purchase the calibration service:
For the costs of the calibration service, refer to the official GeneralGas price list (separate code for each type of calibration).
1. The customer orders the service at the conditions indicated in the official GeneralGas price list (the price of the calibration service is already inclusive of the cost of shipping the certified instrument from the laboratory to the customer's premises).
2. The customer sends the instrument to be calibrated and certified directly to the QuickCheck laboratory, at the following address (to be indicated on the delivery note): GeneralGas c/o QuickCheck s.r.l. Via Aretina, 25, 50065 Loc. Sieci (FI) Telephone: 055 83638 e-mail address: stefano.boscaro@quickcheck.it
3. Once the calibration has been carried out, the instrument, together with its calibration certificate, will be sent directly to the customer, by DHL express courier (carriage paid).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Calibration consists of checking the instrument and issuing a calibration certificate, in accordance with the requirements of EU F-Gas Regulation No. 517/2014.
If, during the analysis phase, the instrument subject to the calibration report is found to be outside the acceptable limits, it is necessary to proceed with calibration.
Calibration, i.e. error correction, is not always feasible and is a service (with relative extra cost) supplied separately, because it actually constitutes a repair of the instrument.
In other words, the calibration/certification does not correct the error of the instrument, but is rather a snapshot of the state of the instrument itself; in the calibration service, only a zero correction is permitted (and, if this is necessary, it is obviously possible to carry it out, directly during the calibration phase).
