ASTM C1264-19 PDF Download

The ASTM C1264-19 standard is a specification that provides guidelines for the sampling, inspection, rejection, certification, packaging, marking, shipping, handling, and storage of gypsum panel products. The standard outlines the procedures and requirements to ensure the quality and compliance of these products.

According to the standard, when specified by the purchase agreement, samples of gypsum panel products should be taken either at the place of manufacture or at the destination. The sample should be representative of the shipment and should be used for testing purposes by the purchaser or user. The inspection of the gypsum panel products should be agreed upon between the purchaser and the producer or supplier, and any products failing to meet the specified requirements should be promptly reported in writing.

The standard also emphasizes the importance of proper packaging and marking of the gypsum panel products. Each product or package should be clearly marked with information such as the thickness, name of the producer or supplier, brand name (if applicable), and the ASTM specification for the product. Additionally, the products should be shipped and stored in a manner that keeps them dry and protected from weather and direct sunlight exposure.

It is important to note that this standard specifically addresses the requirements for shipping products from the manufacturer. Storage or stocking on individual job sites is not covered by this specification.
