Measurement errors can occur at any stage in the gas quality measurement system. EffecTech’s ISO 17020 accredited inspection provides an objective assessment of the sampling system, pressure reduction system, carrier and calibration gas systems against industry best practice. This gives confidence that the sampled gas is being conditioned appropriately and is representative.

Regular inspections give customers confidence that every stage of their gas measurement process on their sites has been assessed in line with the requirements for their particular measurements. EffecTech’s wealth of experience in gas measurements systems means that all recommendations are based both on the most up to date equipment and industry best practice.

An EffecTech ISO 17020 inspection covers:

  • Sampling
  • Sample conditioning
  • Calibration
  • Analysis
  • Physical property calculation
  • Staff training
  • Quality control
  • Maintenance

A detailed report is provided, which makes recommendations, where appropriate, to improve the measurement system.
