## The Elmhurst Airtightness Scheme (EAS)

The Elmhurst Airtightness Scheme (EAS) is a scheme created for companies that carry out airtightness testing activities and to provide reassurance to clients that the work is carried out to a high degree of quality and integrity.

EAS was formerly known as the Independent Airtightness Testing Scheme Ltd (iATS) and can be accessed at <a href="https://airtightness.elmhurstenergy.co.uk" target="_blank">airtightness.elmhurstenergy.co.uk</a>.
EAS supports both air pressure tests and background ventilation assessments provided you have the required qualifications to carry out such tests.

#### Entering API credentials

The first time you use the *EAS Lodgement* functionality, you will be required to input your API credentials. Your unique ID and Token can be found on the <a href="https://airtightness.elmhurstenergy.co.uk/profile/" target="_blank">My Profile</a> within the EAS Lodgement Portal.

After your API credentials have been verified, the system will check to make sure that the Pulse test hasn't already been lodged with EAS.

When prompted, enter the mandatory information and any optional data for the type of test that was performed.
You also have the option to finalise a lodgement directly from Pulse Online, or you can do this at a later date in the EAS Lodgement Portal.
