This PAS specifies the method of testing and an allowable leakage rate.NOTE 1 The PAS test conditions represent typical conditions that may be experienced during a flood. This includestesting the product on a concrete base for leakage and structural failure under static water levels, random waves up to0.1 m high and parallel currents up to I m/’s
