We are proud to have the first AHRI 700 Certified laboratory in Canada at our Dartmouth, Nova Scotia facility. By removing customs movements, we deliver faster, more predictable turnaround times for lab analysis and refrigerant testing across Canada.

The AHRI 700 standard sets globally recognized benchmarks for reclaimed refrigerant purity and quality. AHRI Standard 700 outlines the stringent composition, purity, and contaminant limits for all fluorocarbon, hydrocarbon, and carbon dioxide refrigerants, regardless of source, ensuring only the highest quality product reaches the market. It includes rigorous test methods that apply to all new, reclaimed, or repackaged refrigerants, including CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, HFOs, and hydrocarbons, to meet the evolving needs of the refrigeration and air conditioning industries.

Refrigerant Analysis

Our Refrigerant Analysis kit includes a sample cylinder, detailed instructions, and a submission form. Testing confirms product identity and purity and identifies oil residue, moisture, acidity, and composition issues.

More Than Just Refrigerant

Our analysis capability extends beyond refrigerant! We can also conduct CO2 analysis, oil analysis, and halon analysis, in addition to our capabilities for CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, HFOs, and hydrocarbons. Get in touch to find out more.
