Certifications
1.6.1.1
Performance Test Plan
Submit a performance test plan for SELDS and IEEE Std 299 testing of the
facility. The test plan shall include tester qualifications, equipment
listings (including calibration dates and antenna factors), and proposed
test report format. The plan shall also address specific dates and
durations that testing will be conducted during the overall construction
period so that the expert Government witness may be scheduled to observe
the testing and so that repairs may be made to the shield and retests
conducted before the building finish materials are installed. Finally the
test plan shall indicate the proposed dates and duration of the lowest and
highest frequency tests following installation of the building finish
materials [so that an expert Government witness may be available for these
final acceptance tests]. The results of EMI testing shall be submitted to
the Contracting Officer on a daily basis and test results incorporated into
an EMI Shielding Test Final Report.
1.6.1.2
Qualifications of the Shielding Enclosure Testing Agency
Submit the experience and qualifications of an independent testing agency
for review and approval. The testing agency shall have recent experience
in Shielded Enclosure Leak Detection System (SELDS) and IEEE Std 299
shielded enclosure testing and shall list where and when the experience was
obtained. Certify that laboratory is equipped and staffed to perform field
tests of RF shielded enclosures and performs the tests as a normal service.
Certify that test equipment has been calibrated within the last 12 months.
1.6.1.3
Door Static Load Test
The door shall be mounted and latched to its frame, then set down in a
horizontal position such that the door will open downward and only the
frame is rigidly and continuously supported from the bottom. A load of 2
kPa 40 psf shall be applied uniformly over the entire surface of the door
for at least 10 minutes. The door will not be considered acceptable if
this load causes breakage, failure, or permanent deformation which varies
the clearance between door leaf and stops to vary more than 2 mm 1/16 inch
from the original dimension.
1.6.1.4
Door Sag Test
The door and its frame shall be installed normally and opened 90 degrees.
Two 23 kg 50 pound weights, one on each side of the door, shall be
suspended from the door within 125 mm 5 inches of the outer edge for at
least 10 minutes. The door will not be considered acceptable if this test
causes breakage, failure, or permanent deformation which varies the
clearance between the door leaf and floor frame more than 2 mm 1/16 inch
from its original dimension.
1.6.1.5
Swinging Door Closure Test
Door shall be operated 5000 complete open-close cycles. The door will not
be acceptable if closure test causes any breakage, failure, or permanent
deformation that causes the clearance between door and door frame to vary
more than 2 mm 1/16 inch from the original dimension.
