Ashu, the 1.25 square inches of leakage area is an absolute quantity not dependent on air pressure. You use the ASTM to derive this calculation, and I believe you can use a variety of pressures to do it.

Almost any Test & Balance company or commissioning company should have a blower door test kit. We are located in the states and to get anybody from the United States to go out there and perform the test would probably be cost prohibitive. But I am sure there are companies over there. Look in the NEBB, AABC or TABB websites for companies in your part of the world. The tool itself is less thatn $3,000, and each test is only about $400. Good luck in finding somebody locally to perform the job
