		+	Editor's note:
		+	This is a sample page the user reaches when clicking on the (in this case) MARS link available on the Main Page of the RPM or embedded in Part 3 of any membrane Standard. This page serves as a gateway to the tables, to provide a bit of a pause in the event the user does not have enough background with which to properly use the tables.

 The ''CSA-A123.21 Standard test method for the dynamic wind uplift resistance of membrane roofing systems'' (''CSA-A123.21'') is, properly speaking, a test for membrane roof systems where the membrane is exposed to the weather.  Consequently, you will not find Tested Assembly reports that apply to ''Protected Membrane Roof Assemblies'' (where the membrane lies beneath the constituent components of a roof assembly).  To secure PMRAs, refer to Part 3 of the membrane system that is specified.

 A few roof systems were tested without insulation.  Most of these were tested on a plywood deck, but some were tested on steel.  Because these assemblies are listed together with reports for insulated roofs (also referred to as ''compact'' or ''conventional''), the reader should always look beyond the DUR and read the test report in order to understand the entire assembly.
