"The purpose of this Technical Bulletin is to explain the advantages of airtight enclosures for the display and storage of heritage collections and to outline a methodology for assessing their performance. … Detailed protocols are provided in this Bulletin for evaluating airtightness and for detecting points of leakage. The guidelines are useful for assessing the performance of existing enclosures and for understanding what to ask for, or expect, during the procurement of products such as display cases. In addition, several case studies present valuable perspectives regarding the use of airtightness values and the justification of the described protocols as well as various limitations and precautions"--Abstract, page 2.
