1. Scope
1.1 This specification provides the physical property requirements and test methods to determine these properties for self-adhered sheet air barrier materials used in below-grade vertical, above-grade vertical, and roofing applications. 1.3 This specification does not address self-adhered sheet under slab air barriers. 1.4 The test methods used to determine the material properties provide a means for determining the suitability of a product to be considered an air barrier material, suitability of a material for the intended application, and a basis of comparison among materials. 1.5 The test methods listed in this specification are used to determine the values for the physical properties. These physical property values are intended for use in specifications, product evaluations, and quality control. They are not intended to predict end-use product performance. 1.6 Units--The values stated in SI are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this specification. 1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
