In order to ensure the safe and accurate operation of Portable Gas Detectors, they need to be periodically calibrated against reference test gases that are traceable to National Physical Laboratory standards. The recommended calibration period for most gas detectors is six months although the frequency may need to be increased where continual exposure to the target gases is experienced.
Between calibrations it is also recommended that the response of the detector is checked using an appropriate test gas cylinder. The only way to confirm that a gas detector is functioning and is capable of responding to gas is to expose the instrument to a concentration of target gas high enough to initiate an alarm situation while the instrument is in operating mode. This procedure is often referred to as performing a functional bump test and it is a key to the safe use of portable gas detection equipment. These cylinders are available in 'large aerosol' form and may be supplied individually or as part of a Field Calibration Kit.
