Abstract
A method, a device and a use of the device are provided for carrying out an integrity test on a test container (1) that has at least one flexible casing material. The method includes the steps of: filling a test fluid into the test container (1); and detecting the presence of test fluid directly outside the test container (1). The test fluid is designed in such a way that the permeation rate of test fluid through undamaged casing material of the test container (1) is not greater than 1·10−6 mbar·m/(s·bar).
