Airtightness Standards and Regulations

Compliance in the workplace. Folders labeled Compliance, Violations in focus.

Changes to the New Build regulation as of June 2022.

The ability to sample test has ceased, and all new builds must be tested.

Singular self-builds are no longer able to claim an exemption from testing.

The general requirement is for dwellings tested to comply with a  maximum air permeability of 8m³/(h¹.m²) @ 50pa or 1.57m³/(h¹.m²) @ 4pa.

Pulse testing is an accepted method of testing at 4pa.

CIBSE TM23 has now become the new Testing Standard for APT.
