2、, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification is limited to vapor permeable flexiblesheet materials which

3、are intended to be mechanically attachedand are generally installed behind the cladding system inexterior walls.1.2 This specification is limited to the evaluation of mate-rials and does not address installed performance. Although thefastening practices (type of fastener, fastening schedule, etc.)ma

4、y affect the installed function of these materials, they are notincluded in this specification.1.3 This specification does not address integration of thewater-resistive barrier with other wall elements. The topic isaddressed in more detail in Practice E2112 and Guide E2266.1.4 The values stated in e

5、ither SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 This stan

6、dard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
