Abstract

This study investigates the factors that influence airtightness measurement values, and proposes guidelines to improve the consistency and reliability of airtightness testing. To evaluate current practices and the status of airtightness measurements, a survey of airtightness testing institutions in Korea was carried out. The results showed that many of the requirements set out in the ISO 9972 standard were not fully met, and that there were inconsistencies in the application of baseline conditions among institutions. To improve tester proficiency, equipment performance and measurement procedures, guidelines were developed that set out requirements for testing institutions and provide detailed instructions for improving measurement protocols. Although enhancing the measurement guidelines is expected to improve consistency, the study emphasises the necessity of institutional reforms to bolster tester proficiency and guarantee the adequacy of measurement equipment for sustained quality enhancement.
