Terminology3.1 There are no terms in this standard that require definition other than as provided by Terminology E631.4. Significance and Use4.1 This guide may be u
7、sed by design professionals and others in the building construction industry to provide factual supportfor professional judgment of materials, products, or systems during the design development of new and remedial exterior buildingwall construction.4.2 This guide is intended to provide guidance to t
8、he user of this standard in the evaluation and qualification of materials,products, or systems with which they do not have substantial, long-term experience or that are intended to be employed in a newor different manner. The standard may be used to investigate and assess the probable performance of
9、 such materials, products, orsystems in relation to the proposed use on or as part of an exterior building wall.4.3 The procedures outlined in Section 5 will help guide the user in making informed selections based on the materials,products, or systems performance history on constructed projects and
10、provide information on limitations of use, the manufacturersperformance history, and current status. The use of this guide will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of in-service performanceproblems with materials, products, or systems.4.4 The procedures listed in this standard are intended for use i

United States1appropriate judgment and care regarding the need when applying the various procedures included in this guide, including
17、the useof the form included in Appendix X1, with regard to particular materials, products, or systems, and specific buildings. Materials,products, or systems that will be used for a noncritical or incidental use usually do not require an exhaustive evaluation. Materials,products, or systems with whi
18、ch the user has first-hand experience do not generally require an exhaustive evaluation since manyof the evaluation tasks listed herein should have been performed previously.4.5 Appendix X1 is provided for the user of this guide as a tool in organizing their thoughts and approach to application of t
19、heguide. It may also provide useful documentation to the user for both the building under current consideration and as a futurereference for other buildings. Other forms of documentation may be developed by contract agreements or requirements ofauthorities having jurisdiction.NOTE 1Often components
20、of exterior building wall construction are tested in the laboratory to help assure adequate performance. Laboratoryevaluation of materials, products, or systems is not described in this guide.5. Investigation5.1 Technical information from sellers, manufacturers, or distributors.5.1.1 Obtain a list o
21、f projects where the materials, products, or systems for each project were used, including:5.1.1.1 Dates of installation;5.1.1.2 Name of project, address, owner, contact persons, type of use, phone number;5.1.1.3 Name of contractor, subcontractor, contact persons, address, phone number; and5.1.1.4 N
22、ame of engineer or architect, contact persons, address, phone number.5.1.2 Obtain pertinent research reports, test data, and certifications for the materials, products, or systems from inception to helpevaluate current characteristics, changes, and their uses over time.5.1.3 Ask the manufacturers fo
23、r a listing of specific changes in the materials, products, or systems over time includingimprovements, changes in physical and chemical components, geometry, production methods, and quality control.5.1.4 Obtain specifications, tech sheets, safety recommendations, installation standards, compatibili
24、ty tests, approval of publicauthorities and industry associations, and compliance with ASTM and industry standards.5.1.5 Obtain the manufacturers written response as to suitability of the products for their intended uses after supplying themanufacturer(s) with anticipated use conditions for the mate
25、rials, products, or systems including the project description,specifications, and drawings.5.1.6 Documentation of the materials, products, or systems evaluation is encouraged by this guide. However, documentation andthe use of the form of Appendix X1 is a decision left to the judgment and needs of t
26、he user.5.1.7 Evaluate the production capacity and quality control measures of the manufacturer. If necessary, visit production, curing,storage, and shipping facilities.5.1.8 Obtain specific technical background and test results for factual confirmation and quantification where the manufacturerslite
27、rature contains general characterizations such as breathable, ultraviolet (UV) resistant, waterproof, corrosion-resistant,fire-resistant, and similar claims.5.2 Past performance.5.2.1 Contact owners, designers, contractors, and maintenance organizations with first-hand experience regarding the mater
28、ials,products, or systems to assess performance history. Note the effect of different uses and climates on performance and durability.5.2.2 Visit completed installations to observe the materials, products, or systems in place, being careful to assure they are usedin a manner similar to the contempla
29、ted use. Visit new and old installations to evaluate the effects of aging and in-service exposure.Where possible, visit installations reflecting applications and exposure conditions similar to the contemplated use.5.2.3 Review maintenance requirements for the material, product, or system. Compare th
30、em to probable maintenanceprocedures to be expected for the proposed application. Consider these issues:5.2.3.1 Available funds and resources for maintenance;5.2.3.2 Owners history of maintenance performance;5.2.3.3 Availability of qualified maintenance personnel trained in required procedures and m
31、ethods; and5.2.3.4 Accessibility for maintenance.5.2.4 Verify availability and capability of mechanics with specific and successful experience in installing and servicing thematerials, products, or systems.5.2.5 Investigate problems uncovered during this evaluation to attempt to isolate design, work
32、manship, and manufacturingfactors contributing to the problem.5.3 Manufacturers performance.5.3.1 Review and evaluate warranty documents and evaluate the warranters willingness to act on warranted provisions.5.3.2 Verify the level of post construction technical support that may be expected. Determin
33、e if help is likely to be availablepromptly and from technically knowledgeable personnel should the need arise during or after construction.5.4 Literature survey.E1825 1725.4.1 Review published information about the materials, products, or systems, or similar generic products and their limitations.R
34、ecord specific examples of buildings where these or similar materials, products, or systems have been used successfully.5.4.2 Check with local and national code organizations and code enforcing agencies for changes, approvals, and limitations ofuse for the materials, products, or systems.5.4.3 Exami
35、ne technical references and performance data to consider weaknesses and limitations and to assist in determininga length of performance record.5.4.4 Examine publications of the regulatory and approval agencies for the country of origin and for nondomestic materials,products, or systems that do not h
36、ave domestic approvals and test reports.5.5 Summary of selection judgment.5.5.1 Make a judgment of the desirability of incorporating the materials, products, or systems into the project. Considerationsto include, among others, are first cost; anticipated service life; required maintenance; and conse
37、quence of inadequate performance,such as the ease or difficulty of repair or replacement should the materials, products, or systems prove to be deficient.5.5.2 Inform the owner of the building for which the materials, products, or systems are intended about the state of knowledgeof the materials, pr
38、oducts, or systems; the risks involved in their use for the subject building; and the advantages and disadvantagesassociated with their use including specific information discovered during the evaluation process.E1825 1735.6 Appendix X1 is intended to provide a tool for the user of the Standard in o
39、rganizing his or her thoughts and approach toapplying the guide. It can also be used to document the results of his or her findings for the building under consideration, and forfuture reference on other buildings.6.
