Monitoring space
The monitoring space
and may also consist of basic leak protection lining or leak protection cladding.
The monitoring space must be designed so that the entire volume can be filled with leak
detector liquid, and that it is liquid-tight.
SUITABLE TANKS AND STORAGE MEDIA
The LAG 2000 A may be used only in connection with the following tanks:

*usability certificate issued by a building inspectorate (e.g. according to VbF, BetrSichV,
general building-authority approval, quality assurance RAL-GZ 998 storage tanks) or a
conformity certificate as a construction product according to the legal regulations to
implement directives from the European Community, which also include building inspectorate
and water law requirements and have the CE mark. The certificate must show that the
monitoring space is suitable for connecting a leak detector.
