• Set must not exceed the Permanent Set and Deflection Limits (refer to Table 4.2 in AS3996:2006 subclause 4.2.1.2).
• Followed immediately by one application of the ultimate limit state design load for a minimum of 30 seconds.

The unit must sustain the above tests without visible cracking, collapse or other forms of structural failure.
