Standards for Building Materials

Define the materialsWhat they are

…are not

How they must perform

How they are tested

Level the playing field!Metrics by which quality & performance can be judged

What’s not included is also important!

Mandatory versus Permissive language “Shall…” versus “should…”

Define material durability insuring reduce life cycle costs and limiting environmental impacts

Performance

Prescriptive


Standards for Building Materials

Become mandatory when cited by the building

codeMaterials must comply

Drives market changes

Not cited by a code or regulationUse is voluntary

Many standards are not used directly by the codes

but are needed by industry
