French term or phrase: si pas de prise 100%
This comes in a set of instructions for carrying out a containment test in a controlled environment using a photometer;

- Vérifier les cascades de pression
- Générer l’aérosol à proximité des cloisons de la zone en dépression à contrôler
- Paramétrage du photomètre par la méthode dite de la « référence interne » si pas de prise 100%
- A l’aide de la sonde du photomètre, balayer les surfaces à contrôler
- Consigner toute valeur observée supérieure à 0,01% de taux de pénétration.
