The manufacturer’s published installation instructions must be available at all times on the jobsite during installation. CertainTeed Flintlastic roofing membranes are components of roof covering systems that may be installed over new or existing roofs as described in Tables 1A through 1D and 2A through 2F. The roof slope must be a minimum of 1/4 :12 (2 percent slope) and must not be more than maximum slope for the particular system as specified in Tables 1A through 1D. Penetrations and terminations of the roof covering must be flashed and made weathertight in accordance with the CertainTeed LLC’s published installation instructions and the applicable code. 4.2 Fire Classification: 4.2.1 New Construction: Roof covering systems described in Tables 1A through 1D, when installed in accordance with this report, are Class A, B or C roof coverings in accordance with ASTM E108 or UL 790. 4.2.2 Reroofing: Prior to installation of new roof coverings, inspection in accordance with 2018 IBC Section ESR-1388 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 3 of 27 1511 [2015, 2012 and 2009 IBC Section 1510] and 2018 IRC Section R908 [2015, 2012 and 2009 IRC Section R907], and approval from the code official having jurisdiction, are required. Class A, B or C roof covering systems may be installed over existing roof coverings without additional roof classification tests, provided the resulting classification is the lower of the new and existing roofing classifications under the following conditions:   New uninsulated systems installed only over existing uninsulated systems   New insulated systems installed over existing uninsulated systems only 4.3 Wind Uplift Resistance: 4.3.1 New Construction: The CertainTeed Flintlastic membrane roof covering systems described in this report have a maximum allowable wind uplift capacity as shown in Tables 2A through 2F. Metal edge securement systems must be listed in accordance with the 2011 edition of ANSI/SPRI/FM4435 ES-1, and designed and installed in accordance with 2018 and 2015 IBC Section 1504.5 and IBC Chapter 16 [2003 edition of ANSI/SPRI ES-1, and designed and installed in accordance with 2012 and 2009 IBC Section 1504.5 and 2012 and 2009 IBC Chapter 16]. 4.3.2 Reroofing: Roof covering systems employing mechanical fasteners must be qualified, to the satisfaction of the code official, on adequacy of fasteners penetrating through existing roof coverings into structural substrates. Since the composition and/or condition of any particular underlying existing roofing material can vary widely, reroofing with adhered systems is outside the scope of this report. 5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE The CertainTeed Flintlastic membrane roof covering systems described in this report comply with, or are suitable alternatives to what is specified in, those codes listed in Section 1.0 of this report, subject to the following conditions: 5.1 Installation must comply with the applicable code, the manufacturer’s published installation instructions and this report. If there are any conflicts between the manufacturer’s published installation instructions and this report, this report governs. 5.2 The roof covering systems must be installed only by authorized applicators approved by CertainTeed LLC. 5.3 Foam plastic insulation must be separated from the interior of the building by an approved thermal barrier in accordance with IBC Section 2603.4.1.5 and IRC Section R316.5.2, except when specifically recognized in an ICC-ES evaluation report as outlined in Footnote 3 following Table 1D. 5.4 For all above-deck insulations except foam plastics, the roof covering assembly, including such insulation, must have passed testing in accordance with UL 1256 or FM 4450. 5.5 Foam plastic insulation, where used, must bear the label of an approved agency indicating that the foam plastic has a flame-spread index of not more than 75 when tested at the maximum thickness intended for use in accordance with ASTM E84 or UL 723, subject to the approval of the code official. Except for applications where a thermal barrier is not required, total thickness of foam plastic insulation must be limited to the lesser of the maximum thickness allowed in Tables 1A, 1C and 2A through 2F or the maximum thickness that limits the flame-spread index to not more than 75 when testing is in accordance with ASTM E84 or UL 723, subject to the approval of the code official. 5.6 Design wind uplift pressure on any roof area, including edge and corner zones, must not exceed the allowable wind uplift pressure for the roof covering installed in that particular area. Refer to allowable wind uplift pressure shown in Tables 2A through 2F. 5.7 Above-deck thermal insulation board must comply with the applicable standards listed in IBC Table 1508.2 and IRC Table R906.2. 5.8 The allowable wind-uplift pressures shown in Tables 2A through 2F are for the roof covering only. The deck and framing to which the roof covering is attached must be designed for the applicable components, and cladding wind loads in accordance with the applicable code. 5.9 Calculations demonstrating that the required wind resistance is less than the allowable wind resistance must be submitted to the code official. 5.10 When application is over existing roofs, documentation of the wind-uplift resistance of the composite roof construction must be submitted to the code official at the time of permit application. 5.11 The membranes are manufactured in Little Rock, Arkansas, under quality control programs with inspections by ICC-ES. 6.0 EVIDENCE SUBMITTED Data in accordance with the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Membrane Roof-covering Systems (AC75), dated July 2010 (editorially revised September 2016). 7.0 IDENTIFICATION 7.1 Each roll of CertainTeed Flintlastic roofing membranes covered by this report is labeled with the CertainTeed LLC name and address, product name, date code, and the evaluation report number (ESR- 1388). 7.2 The report holder’s contact information is the following: CERTAINTEED LLC 20 MOORES ROAD MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA 19355 (610) 651-5847 www.certainteed.com ESR-1388 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 5 of 27 TABLE 1B—EXTERNAL ROOF FIRE CLASSIFICATIONS1,7 NONINSULATED NONCOMBUSTIBLE DECKS6 SYSTEM NO.
