ASTM E2619/E2619M-17 PDF Download

ASTM E2619/E2619M-17 is a standard practice that provides guidelines for measuring and calculating building loss features that take up floor area in buildings. The practice is intended to identify and measure the amount of actual and effective floor area that will not be available for the placement of people's workplaces, furniture, equipment, or circulation.

The findings from using this practice can be included as optional information in reports of floor area measured according to other practices such as ASTM E1836/E1836M or ANSI/BOMA Z65.1–1996. The choice of which measurement practice to use depends on the objectives of the analysis, with ASTM E1836/E1836M being suitable for single-tenant buildings and ANSI/BOMA Z65.1–1996 being suitable for multi-tenant buildings.

It is important to note that this practice is not intended for use for regulatory purposes, fire hazard assessment, or fire risk assessment. The practice provides a standardized approach to measure building loss features and calculate floor area, but it does not address these specific aspects.
