Annex Classes of performance in relation to air permeability for roof lights of plastics and glass and roof hatches

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

In case of class A, in addition to declaring the class, the worst measurement of all pressure steps shall also be declared using the following template: Class A (internal pressure (100Pa), assessed leakage rate).

Note: The boundaries of the classes used in this Table may be derived from the following formula:

Q = Q 100 × P 100 2 ∕ 3

Where:

Q
  • is the leakage rate in m3 per hour, per linear m rooflight perimeter during a test under internal pressure

  • P
  • is the internal pressure during a test (in Pa)

  • Q100
  • is the leakage rate in m3 per hour, per linear m rooflight perimeter at an internal pressure of 100 Pa

  • Class Lower limit value of Internal Pressure(4 Pa) Higher limit value of Internal Pressure(100 Pa)
    Air permeability(in m3/(h.m))
    Af1 < 1,4< 12
    B≥ 1,4≥ 12
    C≥ 6≥ 50
