5.10 For bonded insulation or membrane over existing substrates in a re -roof (tear off) or recover installation, the
existing deck or existing roof surface shall be examined for compatibility with the adhesive to be instal led. If
any surface conditions exist that bring system performance into question, field uplift testing in accordance
with ANSI/SPRI IA-1, ASTM E907, FM Loss Prevention Data Sheet 1-52 or Testing Application Standard TAS
124 shall be conducted on mock-ups of the proposed new roof assembly.
5.11 For bonded insulation or membrane over existing substrates in a recover installation, the existing roof
system shall be capable of resisting project design pressures on its own merit to the satisfaction of the
Authority Having Jurisdiction, as documented through field uplift testing in accordance with ASTM E907, FM
Loss Prevention Data Sheet 1-52 or Testing Application Standard TAS 124.
5.12 Metal edge attachment (except gutters), shall be designed and installed for wind loads in accordance with
FBC Chapter 16 and tested for resistance in accordance with ANSI/SPRI ES-1 or Roofing Application Standard
RAS 111, except the basic wind speed shall be determined from FBC Figure 1609.3(1), 1609.3(2) or
1609.3(3).
5.13 All products in the roof assembly shall have quality assurance in accordance with FAC Rule 61G20-3.

6.2 System attachment requirements for wind load resistance are set forth in Appendix 1. ”MDP” = Maximum
Design Pressure is the result of testing for wind load resistance based on allowable win d loads, and reflects
the ultimate passing pressure divided by 2 (the 2 to 1 margin of safety per FBC 1504.9 has already been
applied). Refer to FBC 1609 for determination of design wind loads.

The following notes apply to the systems outlined herein:
1. The roof system evaluation herein pertains to above-deck roof components. Roof decks and structural members shall be in accordance with FBC requirements to the satisfaction of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Load resistance of the roof deck shall be documented through proper codified and/or FBC Approval documentation.
2. Unless otherwise noted, fasteners and stress plates for insulation attachment shall be as follows. Fasteners shall be of sufficient length for the following engagements:
Wood Deck: OMG #12 or #14 HD with OMG 3 in. Galvalume Steel Plate (non-ribbed) or Tru-Fast DP or HD with Trufast 3” Metal Insulation Plates. Minimum ¾-inch plywood penetration or minimum
1-inch wood plank embedment.
3. Unless otherwise noted, insulation may be any one layer or combination of polyisocyanurate, polystyrene, wood fiberboard, per lite or gypsum-based roof board that meets the QA requirements of F.A.C. Rule 61G20-
3 and is documented as meeting FBC 1505.1 and, for foam plastic, FBC Chapter 26, when installed with the roof cover.
4. For mechanically attached components or partially bonded insulation, the maximum design pressure for the selected assembly shall meet or exceed the Zone 1 design pressure determined in accordance with FBC
Chapter 16, and Zones 2 and 3 shall employ an attachment density designed by a qualified design professional to resist the elevated pressure criteria. Commonly used methods are ANSI/SPRI WD1, FM Loss
Prevention Data Sheet 1-29, Roofing Application Standard RAS 117 and Roofing Application Standard RAS 137. Assemblies marked with an asterisk* carry the limitations set forth in Section 2.2.10.1 of FM Loss
Prevention Data Sheet 1-29 (January 2016) for Zone 2/3 enhancements.
5. For assemblies where all components are fully adhered, the maximum design pressure for the selected assembly shall meet or exceed critical design pressure determined in a ccordance with FBC Chapter 16, and no
rational analysis is permitted.
6. For mechanically attached components over existing decks, fasteners shall be tested in the existing deck for withdrawal resistance. A qualified design professional shall review the data for comparison to the
minimum requirements for the system. Testing and analysis shall be in accordance with ANSI/SPRI FX-1 or Testing Application Stanard TAS 105.
7. For existing substrates in a bonded recover or re-roof installation, the existing roof surface or existing roof deck shall be examined for compatibility and bond performance with the selected adhesive, and the existing
roof system (for recover) shall be capable of resisting project design pressures on its own merit to the satisfaction of the Authority Having Jurisdiction, as documented through field uplift testing in accordance with
ANSI/SPRI IA-1, ASTM E907, FM Loss Prevention Data Sheet 1-52 or Testing Application Standard TAS 124.
