ASTM E936-98 (R2004) PDF Download

The ASTM E936-98 (R2004) standard outlines the performance requirements and guidelines for the design, construction, and service expectations of new roof system assemblies. This standard specifically focuses on roof systems that include steel deck, preformed roof insulation, and bituminous built-up roofing, along with their attachment. Additionally, the roof system may also incorporate fire-resistive components, integral acoustical treatment, vapor retarders, adhesive or mechanical fastener attachments, and aggregates.

The objective of this standard is to establish realistic criteria for the overall performance of the roof assembly and its individual components, considering the diverse range of environmental conditions that they may be subjected to. By providing compatibility criteria for the various components, this standard aims to facilitate the successful implementation of the installation and service requirements of the roof system assembly. It's important to note that this standard does not intend to exclude products or systems that are not covered by the documents referenced in Section 2.
