Cylinder Testing in Northern Ireland
We collect from sites across Northern Ireland on our ADR routes, as part of collection covering all 32 counties. Everything is tested at our Kilmallock facility and returned to you, with certification confirming it has been tested to EU Pi-mark standard.
How it works from Northern Ireland
We don't have a testing facility in Northern Ireland, and we won't pretend otherwise. Every cylinder we test is tested at our facility in Kilmallock, Co. Limerick. What we run for Northern Ireland 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 Northern Ireland
Fire protection companies
Extinguisher servicing companies send us batches of CO2 and extinguisher cylinders for testing and overhaul, and fire suppression system cylinders, which we are the only facility in Ireland equipped to handle. See our Fire protection page.
Gas & welding suppliers
Trade suppliers send us customer cylinders for testing and recertification, and get them back with certification paperwork they can hand straight to their customer. See our Gas & welding suppliers page.
Hospitality & beverage
Pubs, hotels 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.
Keeping your EU (Pi-mark) validity
Northern Ireland sits under different arrangements to Great Britain. Since Brexit, a periodic inspection carried out by a GB-appointed body doesn't automatically keep a cylinder's EU (Pi-mark) validity. If your cylinders need to keep that validity, they need periodic inspection under the EU framework, which is what we provide from Kilmallock under the Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive.
Testing with us also means one Irish invoice and a turnaround in days, rather than weeks of freight and downtime. Read our guide: Why Test in Ireland.
Questions from Northern Ireland customers
Is there a cylinder testing facility in Northern Ireland?
No. All testing is carried out at our facility in Kilmallock, Co. Limerick, Ireland's only independent cylinder testing facility. We collect from Northern Ireland on our ADR-compliant collection routes, part of collection covering all 32 counties, so you get the testing without organising your own transport.
How does collection from Northern Ireland 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.
Will testing in Ireland keep my cylinders' EU Pi validity?
Yes. Periodic inspection with us is carried out under the EU Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive (TPED), so cylinders that pass leave with valid Pi-mark status. Northern Ireland sits under different arrangements to Great Britain, where an inspection by a GB-appointed body doesn't automatically carry EU (Pi-mark) validity on its own.
