SPRI to Canvass BPT-1 Test Standard For Comparative Pull-through Strengths of Insulation Fastening Systems and Substrate Board Material Used with Low Sloped Roofing Systems
This standard is intended to be a basis of practical comparative testing for roof system components that are within the scope of this standard
SPRI, the association representing sheet membrane and component suppliers to the commercial roofing industry, announced that it is revising ANSI/SPRI BPT-1 and plans to canvass the document for re-approval as an American National Standard.
ANSI/SPRI BPT standard provides basic requirements and procedures for determining the maximum failure load of substrate boards, fasteners, or fastening systems when tested for dynamic pull-through resistance.
This standard is intended to be a basis of practical comparative testing for roof system components that are within the scope of this standard. Acceptable applications include, but aren’t limited to, the determination of the comparative performance of component combinations and inclusion of alternate components into existing roof assembly listings or approvals.
SPRI developed the ANSI/SPRI BPT-1 standard for use by the roof system manufacturer, design professional, and other practitioners in 2021.
Those wishing to participate in the canvassing process should contact SPRI at info@spri.org.
