Sumario:The CMS collaboration has approved the installation of an additional set of muon detectors based on triple-GEM technology in the first endcap muon station known as GE1/1. They will be installed in 2019 during the second Long Shutdown (LS2) planned by LHC. A first set of chambers have been already built by different production sites in Europe, Asia and the United States. Systematic inspections and strict quality controls, scheduled for the GE1/1 chambers approval by the central site (Cern), were carried out successfully in Bari (Italy). Seven short GE1/1 chambers of tenth generation out of 13 for the first end-cap have been already delivered to Cern. The new chambers quality and performances attest the notable contribution of Bari site to complete the GE1/1 muon detector station for the next upgrade of the CMS experiment. The results of the quality control procedures concerning the effective gain and the response uniformity of the delivered detectors will be shown together with the results on other relevant parameters like internal pressure drop, maximum spurious signal rate and normalized resistance as well.
