Retrotec has released FanTestic version 5.17.3.20, which includes an important fix for members undertaking airtightness testing in accordance with CIBSE TM23.
This update restores the previously missing input for temporary sealing‑free test data within TM23 test files. Testers can once again record whether a TM23 test was carried out without temporary sealing, ensuring that the test setup is accurately documented within the software.
Inclusion in ATTMA Lodgements
With this fix in place, temporary sealing‑free information is now correctly included in the FanTestic test data file and is automatically transferred when results are lodged via the ATTMA Lodgement Portal. This ensures that lodgements fully reflect the test methodology used on site and aligns with TM23 reporting requirements.
Why This Matters
CIBSE TM23 places emphasis on clear and transparent reporting of test preparation and conditions, including the approach taken to temporary sealing. The reinstated data field supports testers in meeting these expectations and reduces the risk of incomplete or ambiguous lodgement information.
Action for Members
ATTMA members using FanTestic for TM23 testing are strongly recommended to update their software to version 5.17.3.20 (or later) to ensure all relevant test data can be recorded and lodged correctly. You can do this via the Fantestic website, or via a prompt on the Fantestic Software.
