Abstract
A system for detection of a leak at a leakage testing point of a test object by a tracer gas. A positionable tracer gas mediating unit has a tip. A marker is attachable at the leakage testing point. A marker detector is associated with the positionable tracer gas mediating unit. The tip of the tracer gas mediating unit is arranged to be positioned within a predetermined distance interval from the marker during a leak detection test. The marker detector is arranged to detect the marker when the tip is positioned within the predetermined distance interval so as to certify a correct positioning of the tip.
