Cylinder Testing in Cork
Cork cylinders don't need to leave the country to be tested. We collect from sites across Cork on our ADR routes, test everything at our Kilmallock facility, and get cylinders back to you in days, not weeks.
How it works from Cork
We don't have a testing facility in Cork, and we won't pretend otherwise. Every cylinder we test is tested at our facility in Kilmallock, Co. Limerick. What we run for Cork customers is a collection route: our ADR-compliant vehicles collect cylinders from your site, bring them to Kilmallock for testing, and return them on the same service.
Tell us where you are and roughly how many cylinders you have, and we'll confirm the next available collection date for your area. Your cylinders travel on properly placarded vehicles, with trained drivers and the correct transport documentation, from the moment they leave your site until they're back on your rack.
Old or condemned cylinders can be collected on the same run for decommissioning and documented disposal.
What we test
Full-service cylinder testing, refurbishment, disposal and logistics, all under one roof in Kilmallock.
Cylinder Testing & Recertification
Periodic inspection and hydrostatic testing to ISO 18119 and EU Pi-mark (TPED) standard, with certification paperwork you can hand straight to your customer.
Refurbishment
Shot blasting, repainting and valve servicing to bring tired cylinders back to a like-new standard.
Cylinder Filling
Cylinder filling carried out on site once testing and inspection is complete.

Nationwide ADR-compliant collection and transport, plus secure storage for cylinders awaiting testing or dispatch.
Cylinder Disposal & Decommissioning
Recovery, decommissioning and recycling of old cylinders, with a certificate of disposal for your records.

Who uses it in Cork
Pharma & life sciences
Pharmaceutical plants run on industrial and process gas cylinders that need periodic inspection to keep their EU Pi-mark validity. We test them to ISO 18119 and TPED standard, with certification paperwork for your records. See our Cylinder testing page.
Marine & port
Marine operators and harbour-side businesses hold everything from dive and breathing-air cylinders to industrial gas and extinguisher cylinders. One collection can cover the lot. See our Diving & marine page.
Hospitality & beverage
Pubs, hotels, breweries and drinks distributors rely on beer gas and CO2 dispense cylinders every day. We test and refill them so the taps keep pouring. See our Brewing & beverage page.
Fire protection companies
Extinguisher servicing companies send us batches of CO2 and extinguisher cylinders for testing and overhaul, timed around their servicing rounds rather than a UK courier schedule. See our Fire protection page.
Why not send them to the UK?
Many Cork businesses still ship cylinders to Britain for testing. Since Brexit that means a ferry crossing, customs paperwork in both directions and weeks of downtime, and a periodic inspection carried out by a GB-appointed body doesn't automatically keep a cylinder's EU (Pi-mark) validity for use here.
Testing in Kilmallock means one Irish invoice, no ferry, no customs, and your cylinders back in days rather than weeks. Read our guide: Why Test in Ireland.
Questions from Cork customers
Is there a cylinder testing facility in Cork?
No. All testing is carried out at our facility in Kilmallock, Co. Limerick, Ireland's only independent cylinder testing facility. We collect from Cork on our ADR-compliant collection routes, so you get the testing without organising your own transport or a UK shipment.
How does collection from Cork work?
Tell us where you are and roughly how many cylinders you have, through the quote form or by phone, and we'll confirm the next available collection date for your area. Cylinders travel on ADR-compliant transport, are tested in Kilmallock, and come back to you with one Irish invoice covering the job.
How long will my cylinders be away?
Days, not weeks. Because there's no ferry crossing or customs process, cylinders tested in Kilmallock are back with you in days rather than the weeks a UK round trip takes.
