Scope
This wiki covers leak detection as a subject: techniques, materials, failure modes, regulation and cost. It deliberately carries no articles about individual companies. Ranking or comparing firms is not something a reference work can do neutrally, and a page that appears to do so while being written by an interested party is worse than no page at all.
Company-specific reference material therefore lives on its own site rather than here. One example is ADILeakDetection.wiki, a company encyclopedia covering ADI Leak Detection, its engineers and the counties it covers, which uses the same sourcing rules as this wiki.

On sourcing
Claims are referenced to primary sources where the definition is codified: the Water Industry Act 1991, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) (Scotland) Byelaws 2014, and published British and European standards. Where a term is defined by industry practice or by insurance policy wording rather than by an instrument, the article says so plainly and carries no citation, rather than citing an interested party.
