by the code officlal, an approved third party shall inspect all components and verify compliance.
rl i
R402.4.1.2 Testing. The building or dwelling unit shall be tested and verified as having an air leakage rate not exceeding seven air
changes per hour in Climate Zones 1 and 2, and throe air changes per hour in Climate Zones 3 through 8. Testing shall be conducted in
accordance with ANSURESNETACC 380 and reported at a pressure of 02 inch w.g. (50 pascals). Testing shall be conducted by either
individuals as defined In Section 553.993(5) or (7), Florida Statutes, or individuals licensed as set forth in Section 489.105(3)(f), (g) or (1) or
an approved third party. A written report of the results of the test shall be signed by the party conducting the test and provided to the code
offidal. Testing shall be performed at any time after creation of all penetrations of the building thermal envelope.
i
Exception: Testing is not required for additions, alterations, renovations, or repairs, of the building thermal envelope of existing
buildings in which the new construction is less than 85 percent of the building thermal envelope.
During' testing:
1. Exterior windows and doors, fireplace and stove doors shall be closed, but not sealed, beyond the intended weatherstripping or
other infiltration control measures.
2. Dampers including exhaust, intake, makeup air, backdratt and flue dampers shall be closed, but not sealed beyond intended
infiltration control measures.
3. Interior doors, if Installed at the time of the test, shall be open.
4. Exterior doors for continuous ventilation systems and heat recovery ventilatom shall be dosed and sealed.

using tight -fitting doors on factory -built fireplaces listed and labeled In aocordanoe with UL 127, the doors shall be tested and listed for the
fireplace. Where using tight -fitting doors on masonry fireplaces, the doors shall be listed and labeled in accordance with UL 907.
R402.4.3 Fenestration air leakagsWindows, skylights and sliding glass doors shall have an air infiltration rate of no more than 0.3 cfm per
square foot (11.6 Us/m2), and swinging doors no more than 0.5 dim per square foot (2.6 Us/m2), when tested according to NFRC 400 or
