ASTM E1996-23 pdf free download – Standard Specification For Performance Of Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, Doors, And Impact Protective Systems Impacted By Windborne Debris In Hurricanes.
The present document addresses the installation and performance of exterior fenestration, glazed facade systems, entryways, and protective shielding in structures situated within hurricane-prone zones. Notably, it excludes the regulation of exterior garage and roller doors, which are subject to ANSI/DASMA 115 standards. The document supplies the necessary details for executing the Test Method E1886. Adherence to this specification serves as a criterion for evaluating the integrity of building envelope components against hurricane breaches, aiming to alleviate the interior damage from such storms and mitigate the intensity of internal pressure buildup. Although the standard is specifically designed for hurricanes, it can be applied to other forms of intense wind events that can produce airborne debris. The specification outlines a consistent set of directives grounded in current data and scholarly research. New findings and studies will be taken into account as they emerge. All measurements are expressed in the International System of Units (SI), which are to be considered the norm. Values presented in parentheses are provided for informational purposes only. In cases where reference documents mention values in inch-pound units, users are required to convert these to the appropriate SI units.
