3.5 Performance Validation / Certification

be performed only by a qualified technician who is familiar with the methods and procedures for certifying these
types of cabinets.
3.6 Importance of Performance Validation / Certification
An airflow velocity value that falls below the value specified inside the test report will not provide adequate
operator protection.

and installation. Therefore the on-site testing is always recommended.
