4.3.2 Repeated test for Air permeability

to confirm the resistance to wind load

After the tests were performed as described under 4.3.1 above the air permeability test was repeated.
The requirement is that the increase of the air permeability at maximum pressure is not more
than 0,3 m3/h per m2 (0,1 m3/h per meter joint length) as found in the classification test for air
permeability.
The results of the air permeability measurements under positive key pressure are shown in table
below.
