I would say the leakage rate is more like 1500 to 2000 ft/min as there is quite a bit of leakage - especially in older airframes. I have a recollection (on my type once again) of a maximum permissible leakage of 2000 ft/min during ground pressurisation testing. I'll try & chase that up & confirm...
