A method for testing a leak detector by using a leak detection device having a test leak and which is provided with a cavity that can be filled with gas, including the following steps:

    a) filling the cavity with ambient air up to an interior pressure in the interior of cavity that corresponds to ambient atmospheric pressure,b) establishing an exterior pressure in the area surrounding the leak detection device that is lower than the interior pressure,c) measuring the leakage rate of the air flowing through the test leak from the interior to the exterior of the leak detection device, andd) establishing an atmosphere consisting of ambient air with ambient atmospheric pressure as exterior pressure in the area surrounding the leak detection device.
