1. Scope
To develop a standard for the purpose of establishing fall resistance criteria and a test method that will simulate falls of persons onto unit skylights and related products installed onto low-slope roofs. A consensus based upon standard practices, standard impact test methods, materials commonly used, and risk assessment will be the basis for developing this human fall resistance specification and test method. Exploration of meaningful certification and/or labeling will be examined.
