Applies for leak detection solutions, which are delivered as ready to use solutions, e.g. in spray cans.

This document specifies requirements and test methods of foam producing solutions for leak detection (hereafter called leak detection solution) used for leak detection of combustible gases of the 1st family (town gas), 2nd family (natural gas), and 3rd family (liquefied petroleum gases (LPG)) (see EN 437) within the temperature range of -15 °C or 0 °C to 50 °C. It is applicable for leak detection solutions, which are delivered as ready to use solutions, e.g. in spray cans. Note The leak detection solution covered by this document may also be used for other compressed gases. In this case the producer has to be consulted.
