ASTM RR:E05-1013 PDF Download

The ASTM RR:E05-1013 standard is described as a set of procedures and protocols used to measure the performance and safety of building materials and construction. The standard aims to establish a precision statement for the specific method of testing, known as E0119, through conducting an interlaboratory study.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a consistent and reliable approach to evaluating the fire resistance and fire-related properties of building materials and construction. By following the specified test methods outlined in the standard, it ensures that different laboratories can produce comparable results and achieve a reliable degree of precision. This is important for quality control, research, and regulatory compliance purposes.

The interlaboratory study, known as Interlaboratory Study 591, was conducted to validate the precision statement of the E0119 test method. This study involved multiple laboratories using the same method to test building materials and construction for fire performance. The results were analyzed to assess the degree of agreement and consistency among the different laboratories, helping to establish an appropriate precision statement for the test method.
