Each testassembly is to be subjected to a series of two coincident drops from a spe

These locations are to include but not belimited to edges, corners, unsupported areas, overlaps and joints. The drop shall be considered coincidentwhen the approximate center of the impact depression of

After the assembly has been subjected to all drops at theselected impact locat

20、ions the roofing system is to be carefully examined on the top surface at theimpacted areas. Multiple layers/components of the roofing system located under the impacted area are tobe examined separately.6.3 Visual damage observations are to be facilitated by examining the samples under 5X magnificat
