scope:

This Standard specifies the requirements and test methods of high-durability and high performance elastomeric seismic-protection isolators used for the seismic-isolated structure of buildings subjected to the long period ground motion and/or the wind load.

WARNING Persons carrying out tests of elastomeric isolators and rubber materials based on this Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices.
