USING TESTED ASSEMBLY REPORTS
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 Wind-RCI calculator and reference notes and requirements outlined in Securing the Roof Assembly; also refer to the BC Building Code, Part 4 and Part 5). 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. Roof Assemblies are classified according to three different approaches to securement: MARS (Mechanically Attached Roof Systems), PARS (Partially Adhered Roof Systems), and AARS (Adhesive Applied Roof Systems). For a full explanation of these and other key details pertinent to an understanding of the test reports, visit Securing the Roof Assembly. In the tables below, the following definitions apply:
How to Use the Tables
|
1 SBS Membrane Systems
- The tables on the adjacent tabs display data and links to Tested Assembly Reports listed by the membrane type shown on the tab. These are reports that detail the makeup and performance of roof systems tested using the CSA-A123.21 Standard test method for the dynamic wind uplift resistance of membrane-roofing systems (latest edition). Use the maximum wind uplift values that equal or exceed the highest Specified Wind Loads; these are calculated using either the online Wind-RCI calculator or through manual engineering calculations (see the British Columbia Building Code, Division B, Part 4 (4.1.7 Specified Wind Loads));
(NOTE: while the reports show two different values for tested maximum assembly strength, the RPM tables display only the values adjusted for the required safety factor of 1.5) - Open the report for the tested assembly that fits with the design parameters you have chosen and calculated, and examine the report. It will break down the assembly by its components. Ensure all the key components (Secondary materials, such as deck overlay, insulation and insulation overlay) are accepted by the RoofStar Guarantee Program (note that fasteners and adhesives currently are not listed in this Manual - use the materials specified in the wind test report, or consult the membrane manufacturer);
- In cases where a tested Secondary material is not accepted by the RoofStar Guarantee Program, look for alternates which often are published in the each report. In the absence of published alternates, consult the manufacturer of the Tested Assembly for alternates that are accepted by the RoofStar Guarantee Program, and obtain the manufacturer's written approval.
