The document discusses air tightness standards for installed ductwork based on Eurovent 2/2 and DW/143. It defines three duct pressure classes - A, B, and C - with corresponding maximum positive and negative static pressures and air velocities. DW/143 provides air leakage limit formulas for each class based on total pressure (pt) to ensure ducts meet specified air tightness levels.
