Compressed Breathing Air
Accredited by the Standards Council of Canada, RPC analyzes compressed breathing air to meet CAN/CSA Z180.1:19 requirements. This standard mandates testing during commissioning and at least every six months.
After prompt analysis, you’ll receive a certificate of analysis confirming compliance. Our team also tracks certificate expiry and arranges retesting—so you never have to worry about lapses.
Compress Diving Air
RPC provides accredited testing for diving air and mixed gases under CAN/CSA Z275.2-20. These gases must be tested for safety and purity at least every six months.
As with breathing air, we issue a certificate of analysis and manage reminders for retesting, ensuring ongoing compliance.
Medical Gases
Our laboratory analyzes medical gases—including nitrous oxide, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and medical air—using cutting-edge technology. Accredited to CAN/CSA Z7396.1:22, we ensure safety and purity through regular testing.
Clients receive a certificate of analysis and proactive retest scheduling. RPC also provides accredited medical gas pipeline inspections and sample collection for hospitals across Atlantic Canada.
