4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 General:
Installation of the EPDM roofing membranes described
in this report must comply with the applicable code, the
report holder’s or additional listee’s published installation
instructions and this report. The report holder’s or
additional listee’s published installation instructions must
be available on the jobsite at all times during installation.
The substrate to which the membrane is to be applied
must be clean, dry, and free of frost, loose fasteners, and
other protrusions or contaminates that will interfere with
the adhesion or attachment of the membrane or that will
puncture the membrane. All materials must be protected
against contact with incompatible materials. Where
gypsum board is used as barrier board in the roofing
assembly, weather protection must be provided to prevent
damage to the gypsum board prior to application of the
roofing membrane.
The slope of the roof on which the single-ply membrane
systems are installed must be a minimum of 1/4:12
(2 percent slope) and must not be more than the maximum
slope indicated for the particular assembly as listed in
Tables 1 through 3.
Penetrations and terminations of the roof covering must
be flashed and made weathertight in accordance with
the requirements of the membrane manufacturer and
Section 1503.2 of the IBC. Where flashing is of metal, the
metal must be corrosion-resistant, minimum No. 26 gage

roof covering systems in accordance with ASTM E108 or
UL 790.
4.2.2 Reroofing: The existing deck must be inspected to
verify that the structure to be reroofed is structurally sound
and adequate to support and secure the roofing
membrane.
Class A, B, or C roof covering systems may be installed
over existing classified roof covering systems under the
following conditions provided the resulting classification is
the lower of the new and existing roofing classification:
