1.03 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

A. Performance Testing:

1. Metal roof system must be tested in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) Test Method 580 "Tests for Uplift Resistance of Roof Assemblies".

2. Metal roof system must be installed in accordance with UL Construction method [# choose one:
180B (min. 14 gauge purlin, 5’-0" on center max. with 29 gauge "D" panel and low/high fixed/floating/articulating clips. Rigid insulation to be min. 1" thick) or
205 (min. 16 gauge purlin, 5’-0" on center max. with low/high fixed/floating clips) or
205A (min. 16 gauge purlin, 5’-0" on center max. with articulating clips, with Light Transmitting Panels) or
286 (mi 5/8" plywood deck with fixed/articulating clips at 5’-0" on center max.) or
308B (min. 14 gauge purlin, 5’-0" on center max., min. 1" thick rigid insulation and 22 gauge 1 1/2" deep metal deck with fixed, floating or articulating clips at 5-0" on center max.) or
534 (min. 16 gauge purlin, 5'-0 1/4" on center max. with low/high floating/articulating clips with Light Transmitting Panels) or
535 (min. 16 gauge purlin, 5'-0 1/4" on center max. with low/high fixed/floating clips without Light Transmitting Panels) or
536 (min. 1" thick rigid insulation and min. 22 gauge Type A, B, F or N metal deck with low/high floating/articulating clips at 5-0" on center max.) or
537 (min. 16 gauge purlin, 5'-0 1/4" on center max., min. 1" thick rigid insulation and 29 gauge 9/16" deep metal deck with floating clips at 5'-0 1/4" on center max.) or
541 (mm. 5/8" plywood deck with low/high floating/articulating clips at 5’-0" on center max.)]. See the current UL Roofing Materials and Systems Directory for requirements of each Construction Method.
3. Resist the roof design pressures calculated in accordance with [# choose one: SBBCI, UBC, BOCA, ASCE or an applicable national or local building code]. Determine panel bending and clip-to-panel strength by testing in accordance with ASTM E 1592- 95. Capacity for gauge, span or loading other than those tested may be determined by interpolating test results.

4. Metal roof system must meet the air infiltration requirements of ASTM E 1680-95 when tested with a 6.24 PSF pressure differential with resulting air infiltration of 0.0071 cfm/sq ft.

5. Metal roof system must meet the water penetration requirements of ASTM E 1646-95 when tested with a 12.00 PSF pressure differential with no uncontrollable water leakage when five gallons per hour of water is sprayed per square foot of roof area.

6. Metal roof system must qualify for a Class 4 rating when tested in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. UL-221 8 "Test Standard For Impact Resistance."

# Specifier: Select construction method for paragraph Al. and applicable building code for paragraph A.2.

1.04 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

A. Root Design Loads:

1. Design criteria shall be in accordance with [# choose one: MBMA, SBBCI, UBC, BOCA, ASCE or an applicable national or local building code.]

2. Dead Loads
a. The dead load shall be the weight of the SSSMR system. Collateral loads, such as sprinklers, mechanical and electrical systems, and ceilings shall not be attached to the panels.

3. Live Loads
a. The panels and concealed anchor clips shall be capable of supporting a minimum uniform live load of -20 psf.

4. Roof Snow Loads
a. The design roof snow loads shall be as shown on the contract drawings.

5. Wind Loads
a. The design wind uplift for the roof system shall be as shown on the contract drawings. The design uplift force for each connection assembly shall be that pressure given for the area under consideration, multiplied by the tributary load area of the connection assembly. The safety factor listed below shall be applied to the design force and compared against the ultimate capacity. Prying shall be considered when calculating fastener design loads.
aa. Single fastener in each connection-3.0
bb. Two or more fasteners in each connection-2.25

6. Thermal Loads

a. Roof panels shall be free to move in response to the expansion and contraction forces resulting from a total temperature range of __ degrees F during the life of the structure. [#Choose temperature differential based on Max. and Min. for specific area lAW MBMA Climatological Data]
