Full Description

1.1This test method is intended to apply to building materials used in construction below the base flood elevation (BFE) including, but not limited to: individual building materials and composite assemblies of building materials that constitute permanent integral parts of a finished building including walls, floors, ceilings, stairways, built-in partitions, finishes, cladding, and other similarly incorporated architectural and structural items.

1.2Requirements for evaluation of other hazards associated with flood damage including, but not limited to: debris impact, flood velocity, wave action, water pressure differential, scour, erosion, biological and chemical contaminants in floodwater, and other factors that would be adverse to continued use of the structure for its intended purpose including long-term occupant health impacts are outside of the scope of the methods presented herein.

1.3The water immersion, drying, and cleaning procedures specified in this test method establishes standard conditions for laboratory evaluation of test specimen response to water immersion, subsequent drying, and cleaning. The results of these tests are one factor in assessing the characteristics of building materials with regard to water immersion, drying, and ability to be cleaned. Application of these test results to predict these characteristics for actual building construction requires the evaluation of test conditions as compared to conditions of end-use.

1.4The water immersion and drying procedures shall not be construed as representative of water makeup, duration of immersion, or conditions of drying during an actual flood event because actual flood conditions vary with such factors as makeup of water, depth and duration of immersion, and ambient temperature and humidity.

1.5The cleaning procedures specified in this test method are intended to simulate surface cleaning that normally occurs after flooding.

1.6The cleaning procedures specified in this test method shall not be construed as superseding standards or manufacturers recommended methods for cleaning and restoration after flooding.

1.7A commentary to this test method is provided in Appendix X1.

1.8The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.9This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
