1. Rationale
Section 14.6.3 includes a description of wet/freeze/thaw accelerated weathering exposure which specifies simulating rainfall at a rate of 0.7 inch per day. In UL 1709 Appendix A (from which the E1529 language originated),the simulated rainfall is specified at 0.7 inch per hour. It has been confirmed in the Dec 2012 Atlanta meeting that E1529 is incorrect.
