Abstract
SCOPE
The test method is designed to assess the wind load resistance of roof assemblies.
For the strength of mechanical fasteners, see NORDTEST method NT BUILD 306.
FIELD OF APPLICATION
The method is used for:
- assessing the resistance to blow-offs of sheet applied membranes either bonded to the base material or mechanically fixed to it
- assessing the resistance to blow-offs of insulation materials either bonded to the base material or mechanically fixed to it
- assessing the strength and stiffness of plate materials used for roofing, either with insulation applied to the roofing material or without any such insulation, including fastening systems used for attaching the material to the base as well as the strength of the sheet itself.
