For some end uses, specifiers should alsoaddress the effect of moisture and wind pressure resistance.Guidelines regarding these end use considerations are includedin Appendix X1.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are
8、 to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility
9、of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
