Scope1.1 This practice covers procedures for performing visualmonitoring of roofing construction to:1.1.1 Establish guidelines for qu
3、ality assurance observationpractices; and1.1.2 Define the role and responsibilities of the qualityassurance observer.1.2 This practice pertains to daily, full-time, quality assur-ance observation of roofing projects. This practice is applicableto new construction or reroofing projects involving the
4、instal-lation of a new roof system, the removal of existing roofing andinstallation of a new roof system, or recovering an existingroof. It is also applicable to roofing projects involving repairsor scheduled maintenance to an existing roof.1.3 This practice contains the following information:1.3.1
5、The objectives of the quality assurance process;1.3.2 The responsibilities and qualifications of the individu-al(s) involved in the observations of the roof construction orrepair;1.3.3 Identification and use of the basic tools or equipmentrequired for the visual roof observation process; and1.3.4 Mo
6、nitoring, recording, and reporting procedures.1.4 This practice does not address practices of roof inves-tigation, condition reporting, or analysis of preexisting roofs.1.5 This pracitce does not pertain to quality control pro-cesses or techniques performed by persons or entities repre-senting or un
7、der contract to the roofing contractor. The qualitycontrol process is separate and distinct from the qualityassurance observation process.1.6 Assessment of safe work practices or safety monitoringprocedures followed by the contractor are outside the scope ofthis practice.1.7 This standard does not p
8、urport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility 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.
