An evidence belongs to a specific class, if the test results measured respecting the EN 12427 do not exceed the value speci-fied for that class in Table 1.Table 1 - Air permeability classesClassAir permeability ∆p at a pressure of 50 Pa [m3/m2h]Specification0 -No benefits determined1 24 -2 12 -3 6 -4 3 -5 1,5 -6 -Exceptional agreement between manufacturer and buyer for infiltration and pressureNotes: where conditions greater than 50 Pa are applied, the situa-tion must be considered exceptional and greater than class 5 and should be the subject of contractual approval between manufac-turer and purchaser.CLASS 5 TESTUNI EN 12426:2001Test preparation The evidence shall be installed in accor-dance with the manufacturer’s published or referenced installation instructions.The evidence shall consist of components that conform in detail to the manufactur-ing quality level. Wherever possible the evidence should be set up from scratch. Doors and components in stock shall be considered as newly manufactured if they comply fully with current manufacturing specifications.The evidence must be clean and with the surfaces dry. Any ventilation, drainage or discharge holes shall be taped shut or left open according to the purpose of the test and this purpose and condition shall be noted and recorded. In most instances, air can pass through both fixed and opening gaps.
