ASTM WK17338

(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK17338 - Revision of C1396 / C1396M - 06a Standard Specification for Gypsum Board


Active Standard: C1396 / C1396M - 13

Developed by Subcommittee: C11.01 | Committee C11 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

Create a standard definition for mold resistant gypsum board. Currently, there are several gypsum board and gypsum panel products on the market that are promoted as being mold resistant. However, there is no standard specification for what test method, procedures or performance levels are required to qualify as mold resistant. There is a need to standardize the use and meaning of this term.
