The standard requires that all testing be conducted on 300mm diameter ducting as an assembly. If a core material is tested and passes the pressure, collapse, impact and tension tests, then it does not need to be re-tested for those tests as an insulated duct providing an identical core construction is used. The prices given above are valid until 30 June 2014.
