scope:

This standard sets performance requirements for edge systems installed on low slope roofing according to the limitations and requirements specified for each individually manufactured roof edge system.

The requirements of this standard shall be used to measure and describe the wind load resistance of roof edge systems and their securement in response to simulated wind loads under controlled laboratory conditions.

The wind resistance performance of a roof edge system depends in part on its ability to resist the wind forces at the building edge and to maintain the securement of the roof cover system.

This standard describes the minimum performance requirements for roof edge systems by evaluating their performance as it relates to wind load resistance.

This standard is not intended to determine the suitability for all end use conditions of a product. Conditions under which a roof edge system is used vary widely. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer and user to determine the suitability of the roof edge system for the intended location.

This standard does not determine a roof edge system's ability to restrict or prevent the infiltration of air or water into or through the edge or underside of the roofing system.

Purpose

This standard states Approval requirements for edge systems used with low slope roofing systems.

Approval criteria may include, but are not limited to, performance requirements, marking requirements, examination of manufacturing facility(ies), audit of quality assurance procedures, and a follow-up program.
