 <big>USING TESTED ASSEMBLY REPORTS</big>
-The tables and products shown below provide basic material data related to roof assemblies tested for their performance in modulating and high winds, using the test method found in CSA A123.21.  They also provide links to more information about the materials, including manufacturers' published Technical Data sheets.  The reader is advised to use this information in conjunction with other RoofStar-accepted Materials, and with reference to roof system requirements derived from from appropriate wind uplift calculations (see the '''[http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/services/windrci/agreement.html Wind-RCI]''' calculator and reference notes and requirements outlined in [http://rpm.rcabc.org/index.php?title=Securing_the_Roof_Assembly '''Securing the Roof Assembly''']).  The information on this page is not intended for use as a comparison of material performance or quality. Nor should this information be construed as an endorsement of the suitability of any given material for a particular application.  It is the sole responsibility of the design authority to assess the performance capability and material suitability for specific design requirements.

 In the tables below, the following definitions apply:
-:'''ASSEMBLIES''' are represented by the downloadable reports linked in the far right column of each table.  '''Assemblies''' are defined in this Manual as the arrangement of various and distinct roofing materials in layers, secured to the roof deck by a variety of methods.  The Accepted Material which is listed in the second column of each table is included in the associated Assembly wind uplift test reports, which may be downloaded using the links in the far right column of each table.  The RCABC has renumbered these reports for tracking purposes.  The official report numbers will be found on the documents themselves.
+:'''ASSEMBLIES''' are represented by the downloadable reports linked in the far right column of each table.  '''Assemblies''' are defined in this '''Manual''' as the arrangement of various and distinct roofing materials in combination with the ''supporting deck structure''.  Therefore, a '''Tested Assembly''' refers to both the roof system materials and the type of supporting deck structure to which they are secured and then tested in a controlled environment, in accordance with the CSA A123.21 test method.  Some reports provide guidance for other deck types.  The reader is advised to consult each report for optional assemblies and the testing authority's remarks concerning resistance to ''Specified Wind Loads'' (refer to the BC Building Code, Part 4).
-:The tested assembly reports use the term "system" to refer to the ''system of securement'' - that is, the pattern or spacing of fasteners or adhesive ribbons that may be varied from one test to another, in order to achieve higher wind resistance values  (NOTE: ''System'' used elsewhere in the RPM denotes the combination of roof materials, excluding the supporting deck structure.  The two uses of the term ''system'' should not be confused).  Some '''Assemblies''' (a combination of the roof '' system'' and the supporting deck structure) have been tested with a variety of securement ''systems'', others with only one.  For example, one Assembly may be tested with three different fastener spacing arrangements (''systems''), indicated both by the row spacing and by the fastener spacing.  In that case, the tables show that a material has been tested with three different ''systems'' of securement.  You will see notations in the third column of each table indicating how many securement ''systems'' have been tested for a particular material.   The associated downloadable report will be found on the same line, in the far right column.  The report name is a hyperlink to the report document.

 <big>How to Use the Tables</big>
-#Begin by determining the wind load of the roof using the online calculator available through '''[http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/services/windrci/agreement.html Wind-RCI]''' (click [http://rpm.rcabc.org/images/5/5d/Sample_RCI_Report.pdf '''here'''] for a sample report);
