The '''Roofing Practices Manual''' (RPM) is ''the'' official repository of Standards necessary to qualify roof and grade-level waterproofing projects for a '''''RoofStar Guarantee'''''.

The RPM is revised at least three times per calendar year. <span style="background:yellow">Yellow highlighted</span> text indicates a change to the ''Manual'' within the past twelve months, and remains in effect for one full year (365 days).

For a summary of each update catalogued since 2010, use the '''Technical Updates''' button above.
