Gas Leak Detection – Inspection Procedure
Conduct routine checks on gas sensors, alarms, power supply, and emergency shutoff mechanisms for optimal safety and regulatory compliance.
Sensor Functional Testing
- Ensure proper ventilation and notify occupants before testing
- Apply certified test gas to active sensors
- Monitor response time and alarm trigger accuracy
- Allow sensor to recover and log results
Alarm & Indicator Verification
- Activate test alarm to verify audio and visual alerts
- Check for proper escalation notification (remote or control panel)
- Silence and reset test alarm functions after completion
- Review controller display for any errors or faults
Gas Shutoff System Test
- Trigger gas leak alarm or simulate condition
- Confirm automatic gas valve closure response
- Test manual shutoff function and signage presence
- Inspect valve reset and verify secure restoration of service
Calibration & Integration Check
- Verify calibration sticker/date and perform recalibration if due
- Check interface with HVAC or BMS systems
- Run integration test to confirm response across connected systems
- Document calibration values and integration functionality
